A white Series 7 side chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1955 (or a very good knockoff) is perfectly placed in front of this light wood writing desk. A scalloped cornered hutch is lined in green to add a bit of panache to this ultra small workspace. (above)
I like these two small writing desks…simple and elegant with fun twists of style. Modern seating and interesting lines make for wonderful vignettes. Desk areas just nice enough to hand write a sweet thank you note, or to jot down the day’s to-do list, or to do a quick browse of your daily design blogs on the internet.
If I had a desk like either of these, I would probably be inspired and write more for this post! đ
P.P.S. Thank you Melanie of Coddington Design in San Francisco for giving me permission to use photos of these lovely spaces you designed!
I love that clear chair-I am just not the type to pull it off đ
The shape of this desk is spectacular!!!
Both spaces are so different yet beautiful in their own right. Love the clear chair.
I’ll take the second one please. Although, you know you can’t do any real work at it, it would be great to have something like this in your bedroom.
I love both spaces! I love how the first desk has the green painted on the inside to add some color. I would have never thought about that. It’s such a pretty shape. I really like the lucite desk chair. đ

I love the hutched desk! Anyway to find out where it is from?
* I am on “DESK/STUDY” OVERLOAD right now, which is why it’s 12:30 a.m. & I got out of bed….. cuz I JUST couldn’t sleep!!!
My Sweetest & I spent HOURS w/ our designer today, finalizing (“HOPEFULLY”!)choices/changes I/we made for completly revamping my/our “old” study (the house is a whoppping 5 years old now & I’m stilllll “making it “ALLLL M*I*N*E”!)~~~ and despite all the “work”, the END RESULTS are SO WORTH IT!!!
… Thinking of the mix of woods, the granite, even that hardware, etc is better than you-know-what! (Boy, am I glad my huz doesn’t read this!)…
DREAMS… BIG-ONES like an Army Wife of 38 years carries in her heart (for her home), have all been coming to fruition in the last 5 years, and oh~~~ sometimes I feared I’d never “get here”… But I AM, and it’s suuuuch a fantastically FUN journey!!!!!!!!!(Well, except for when contractors/”someone” lets me down, THENNNNNNNN…it’s Excedrim Headache #32~~~ aargh! IN THE END, THO? WORTH IT ALL!!!!!!)~ I’m loving it so much!!!
Great blog~~~~~~ As “Ahnollllld” would say, “I villlll be baaacckk!)…
Many THANKS,

That high writing desk is so stylish! You’ve got to be careful with the green you cant put it anywhere but the push in arms are a great feature and coupled with the height of the unit make this desk a nice space saver.
Very well thought out!
