  • A vintage Burmese teak writing desk given a second life at Hock Siong.

    Originally made as a corner desk to fit around a structural column, it came to us with a section missing and two legs absent, but the beautiful teak and unusual form were far too good to discard.

    We reworked it into a freestanding desk, filling the original cut-out with a recycled plastic panel by our neighbours at Semula, while our carpentry team crafted two tapered pencil legs to complete the piece.

    A thoughtful mix of old and new, and a little example of how good furniture can keep evolving. 
  • Depth of table top (Trapezium-shaped): 56–88 cm
  • Delivery only to ground level or lift-landing floor which this item can fit into your service lift.
