Large French Elmwood Desk by Seltz, 1980s
A sculptural ode to 1980s French design, this large desk by Seltz exudes bold simplicity. Crafted from solid elmwood, its organic, freeform top floats above two sturdy storage blocks. Elevated by four black wooden spheres, the piece balances geometry with fluidity. The grain of the elm adds warmth and texture. With generous proportions and fascinating lines, this desk becomes both a workspace and an art piece.
Ebénisterie Seltz was a prominent French furniture maker, known for its innovative and sculptural designs, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. Based in the Alsace region, the brand gained recognition for its impeccable craftsmanship, including the production of Pierre Chapo's designs.
Seltz's own creations combined clean, geometric forms with organic elements, often using high-quality natural materials like solid oak and elm. Their work was defined by intricate wood joinery techniques and a minimalist approach, offering functional yet aesthetically distinctive furniture for modern interiors.
