Refined, sophisticated workmanship and materials distinguish the Wilshire desk designed by Steve Leung.
Marble dominates, combined with wood in curved, sculpted surfaces with light touches of satin-finished steel and leather finishes on organic, dynamic forms. The design is inspired by fashion: the sculpted wood side legs with a heel, hand-covered in leather with satin-finish stainless steel tips, evoke the stiletto heels of women’s couture, which blend with geometric elements that are rigid and slender at the same time.
