On the right is a large filing cabinet that accommodates legal or letter-size files, depending on orientation. Three stationary drawers sit on the left. All drawers are dovetailed and solid wood with a thick rosewood veneer. At the centre, an open shelf appears to float thanks to its concealed fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe star of the show is the Brazilian rosewood itself, prized for its extraordinary grain pattern and deep, rich colour — a wood no longer legally permitted to be harvested, making pieces like this increasingly rare to find. The rosewood flows continuously from the top to the solid rosewood wings on the sides, around to the drawer fronts, and across the fully \u003cstrong\u003efinished back — this desk is finished on both sides\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it can float in a room rather than sit against a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs was common for the period, the desk's structure is left exposed — and since the structure is built entirely from solid Brazilian rosewood, the structure is every bit as beautiful as the rest of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Arne Vodder for H.P.
