Limed Oak Desk in the Manner of René Gabriel, France 1940s
-
Description
The materials and techniques used by mid-century French cabinetmakers were directly derived from the possibilities offered by industrial production at the time. Oak has never gone out of style, and pieces with an emphasis on the unfinished or natural look are once again gaining popularity today. This desk is an example of a piece that is equally striking standing alone, or as part of an interior with a medley of styles.
The design of this table model boasts an ingeniously functional and well-thought-out structure, crafted from quality limed oak. It holds a natural expression with its airy design, which is dominated by the beauty of the material. The use of liming was traditionally used to highlight the natural grain of the oak, while also creating a protective layer that would prevent the wood from absorbing dirt and moisture. Unlike traditional paint that leaves a topical plastic finish on top of wood, lime wash absorbs into the wood, leaving a natural contour. Limed oak furniture is often seen as a classic and timeless design element that can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. The wide top is rectangular, with sharp edges, and showcases the limed oak’s beautiful pattern, reinforcing a modernistic look with a rustic feel. The legs are gently tapered and tilted to support stability. The design of this table recalls the works of French designer René Gabriel, whereby the sobriety of his furniture is still a source of inspiration today.
The imperfections of the wood and the simple, functional design makes this table stand out with a timeless appeal. Its light colour makes it easy to adapt to almost any interior, and the design is perfect to add that coveted mid-century flair.
