Designed circa 1965 for Lehigh Leopold by renowned architect Warren Platner, this striking executive desk combines luxurious materials with a bold architectural presence. The top is dressed in rich, chocolate-colored leather, creating a warm yet refined workspace. A beautifully figured teak body provides an organic feel and visual depth, while the deep filing cabinet and pencil drawer—both lined with matching leather bottoms—offer convenient storage. At the center, an imposing aluminum I-beam base anchors the desk with sleek, industrial flair, providing a dramatic contrast to the teak and leather. The result is a masterful fusion of form and function, a timeless piece that exemplifies Platner’s sophisticated approach to mid-century design.
