Story
From tiny living in Japan
Anker Bak worked in Japan, China and Finland before returning to Denmark, and the page says his experiences of Japanese tiny living inspired this desk. The AB019 presents work and play solutions for smaller spaces in a pared-back, minimalist expression.
Lightness and detail
The stainless steel wall mounts contrast with the oak top and give a sense of lightness, according to the manufacturer. Solid oak cover caps hide the screws for a seamless look, and the rounded front edge of the top serves as a comfortable armrest.
