French Elm Desk by Maison Regain, 1960s

$6,400.00

A French desk by Maison Regain, designed in the 1960s, where utility is expressed through proportion, material, and meticulous craftsmanship.

Constructed in solid elm, the desk carries the warmth and character that defined Regain's work. The richly figured timber is left to speak for itself, with every surface revealing the natural movement of the grain.

Thick square legs and architectural lines give the piece a monumentality, while exposed mortise-and-tenon joinery at each corner celebrates the honesty of its construction rather than concealing it. The form is softened by subtle details—a gently chamfered top, finely finished edges, and two discreet drawers that sit seamlessly within the apron.

Whether placed in a study, living space, or creative studio, it anchors the room with confidence. More than a workspace, it is a piece that was designed to become part of the architecture of everyday life.

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1960s

MATERIALS: Elm
