Vintage Executive Desk in oak by Theo Tempelman for AP Originals Netherlands 1960s

Large executive desk by Dutch designer Theo Tempelman produced by AP Originals, The Netherlands, 1960s. An elegant and sleek desk which, despite its significant size, has a light appearance. The piece shows an interesting rhythm of horizontal and vertical lines. The two drawers are seamlessly integrated in the oakwood top, the back has an inward gap yet without drawers. This aesthetic choice unites the back and front and turns it into an architectural piece. High quality oakwood top, combined with an elegant, refined chrome steel base and black steel details. New locks, not original. AP Polak was a progressive Dutch design company who also produced some of Pierre Paulin’s earliest designs in the 1950s.
