Cherry Writing Desk

The first iteration of this cherry writing desk was for my daughter Brynn, as she needed a place to do her homework.  It’s interesting to look back at writing desk styles.  We went from something that had a large drawer to store a typewriter to a desk with open spaces or shelves to store a PC computer tower on.  But now we don’t need either a large drawer or shelf as my kids’ generation uses iPads and tables that can easily slide into a small shallow drawer.

Not having this design constraint of storing large objects opens up more possibilities for designing the piece’s aesthetics, such as the curve of the legs and having the space to mirror that curve in the accent panel.
