Designed by Robert Heritage for British furniture maker, Beaver & Tapley in the 1960s, as part of his ‘Multi-width’ range, this is a classic piece of British midcentury. It’s a clever and practical item, wide but shallow, an all-in-one work station with a fall-door bureau and pigeon holes for your papers. Just pull up a chair to focus and work. This is combined with a glass-front bookcase and double lower cupboards providing plentiful storage. You can see the Scandinavian ‘form and function’ influence with its sleek, clean lines and minimalist look overall. We love the pinstripe of the wood grain across the exterior surfaces. If you don’t have space for a conventional desk, this cabinet could be the perfect compromise and it’s shallow depth won’t intrude into the room.
