Kumo

From $6,400

The Kumo desk lifts its top on solid rods that stand in pairs on the end stretchers, so the top seems to hover above the frame like a cloud over a ridge. The long sides carry only a slim rail, leaving the front open for a chair and room for your knees, and the legs splay gently to the floor.

How it's made

How the Kumo is made.

Solid hardwood, joined with Japanese-inspired joinery that is cut and fitted by hand, then glued. Solid metal accents are set into the frame. Hardware only where the top needs to move with the seasons.
