Industrial designer Alexandra von Furstenberg is known for creating furniture that is aesthetically pleasing and practical, two traits that this acrylic desk possesses. The handcrafted accessory boasts a transparent style with bold pink trim that adds visual interest to its otherwise minimalist design.
In addition, the acrylic desk also features bold, geometric elements that form a subtle, chevron pattern. Titled the 'Luminous Acrylic Desk,' Alexandra von Furstenberg's gorgeous design borrows its visual cues from automobile design, one of the artist's biggest passions. Modeled after the grill of a car, the desk's chevron element is a simplified version of metal-made vehicle parts.
This desk is not only fit for the modern office space, but also doubles as a vanity in bedrooms with a whimsical design theme.
