Less space-hungry than a conventional desk, vintage bureaus are enjoying a renaissance with folk working from home, either occasionally or all the time. This is a particularly unusual midcentury one because of its tall but slender stature and it dates from the late sixties / early seventies. It comes with a glass-front bookcase and generous lower cupboard. The fall door drops to create an ample-sized desk area and there are further cubby holes for storage and organisation inside. Pull up a chair, pull down the desk door and you’re set to focus and work. And then when the work day is done, the door can be closed. Bureaus are great options for kids’ / students’ rooms too to help them get organised with a dedicated but discreet work station.
