1950s modernist CM141 desk by Pierre Paulin, his first creation as a designer, produced by Thonet in 1954.

A classic of real elegance.

Black lacquered metal base with four legs joined by three flat stretchers.

The top is melamine covered with black formica on the left, with a drawer case in blond teak veneer on the right. The case has two drawers that open with U-shaped black lacquered metal handles.

We love the clean, minimalist look of this piece.

In very good condition: the black formica edging has been redone as new, while the top has remained original; it has signs of wear consistent with its great age, a few scratches etc., but very discreet overall. The same goes for the case: the wood has its original patina, which is very beautiful and gives it all its charm. The inside of the drawers has some marks.

A few light paint chips on the base.

Very good overall condition.
