THE ONE × Portofino — Wood Desk (87")
Some desks just hold computers.
This one holds a legacy.
Staying true to its 1950s origins, the unique cutouts and spaces, with details such as a rubber‑wrapped foot rest and solid wood drawer.
Satin black powder‑coated legs and a champagne brass crossbar beautifully complement the natural beauty of the wood.
Available in two distinct finishes:
Cerused Oak — Richly grained white cerused oak desktop and shelves, with a black ebonized oak drawer that pulls out for dramatic contrast.
Walnut — Warm, deep walnut grain, timeless and sophisticated.
Originally designed for an architect to accommodate rolls of drafting paper, the desk is well‑suited for all modern professional pursuits.
For workspaces that deserve design history.

But here's what most people miss: the unique cutouts and spaces were originally designed to hold rolls of drafting paper — but today, they hold laptops, notebooks, and the things you need within reach. The rubber‑wrapped foot rest is a detail from the 1950s that modern desks forgot — it's there when you need to stretch your legs, and it protects the wood. And the cerused oak finish is dramatic — white grain on white grain, with a black ebonized oak drawer that slides out for contrast.
You're not buying a desk. You're buying a piece of 1950s architectural history — cerused oak or walnut, cutouts, rubber foot rest, champagne brass — ready for modern professional pursuits.
