Arthur Espenet Carpenter
Rolltop Desk, 1968
Single slab, book-matched crotch California Walnut
First designed in 1969 as part of custom commission. Art referred to the original design as a “clumsy affair” containing a fold-in typewriter and vertical bank of drawers. Seeing the potential he refined the desk to what you see today. Since then about 20 have been made using the templates developed during the construction of the third model. The pigeonhole arrangements have changed according to my whim at the time, but the basic shapes and measurements of the overall structure remain the same. Arthur Espenet Carpenter
