Mid-Century Built-in Desk with Eames Molded Plywood Chair

A mid-century built-in desk and shelving in warm-toned wood paneling, paired with an Eames molded plywood chair.

Built-in desks were a common feature of mid-century houses, set into a niche or along a wall with shelving above. This one is finished in the same reddish wood as the surrounding paneling, with drawers to one side and a simple slab top. Paired with a molded plywood chair, it shows the period's ideal of furniture that is part of the architecture. A built-in desk like this is one of the most useful features for a home office today.
