Story
A model from the first corporate ranges
The reissue of the Président desk, designed by Pierre Guariche, revives an iconic model from the first ranges of corporate and collectivity furniture. The desk was originally designed for the headoffice and manufactured in small series by Les Huchers-Minvielle, Guariche's main manufacturer alongside Meurop.
Walnut and chrome
Natural walnut gives the desk its finish. The President side has two full-extension drawers and the guest side a white laminate niche, while the cup handles are chromed and the feet are gloss chromed. Guariche's original Président desk is dated 1961.
