Jonathan Adler – Channing Desk – $1750 (White lacquer and polished nickel with lucite knobs. X base polished nickel legs. Two drawers) (above)
Jonathan Adler named this collection after Bette Davis’s character Margot Channing from the cinema classic All About Eve. A dramatic name for a dramatic furniture line. Shiny, gleaming and glistening, this high gloss group is eye-catching, enthralling and engaging…the same characteristics you might want in a good movie.
My favorite of the group is the Channing Desk. I love the lacquer finish and the polished metal x-based legs…reminds me of a drafting table of sorts.
What I like about the buffet and the end table is that they could pretty much be used in any room…perfect for a living room, dining room, bedroom or even a sleek modern family room. The buffet and side table could be Hollywood glam or seem to have even a little Asian inspired feel to them too. Multifaceted furniture!
These pieces all seem to hint to the past while maintaining all of the clean line sensibility of modern furniture design.
The lucite (clear plastic or acrylic) knobs are a wonderful touch.

Don’t bother trying to order it. Its been back ordered for 2 years, and there aren’t enough to even fulfill the orders that are still waiting from 2 years ago. And its crap. I wouldn’t normally say this, but well, I work there.
Try Room Service in La or Newport. They have a similar line called boca. I don’t know if they have this desk, but they have similar dressers, and side tables. They make all their own furniture in their warehouse in LA, so they can probably make the desk as well.
