Desks from the early half of the 20th century are often identified as having adopted a modernist approach. Modernist design, by definition, aims to depart significantly from classical and traditional forms of the 19th century and earlier. Many of the modernist desks which appear in the Vinterior collection are a leading example of this and demonstrate a radical departure from tradition. Learn more about modernist desks in the Vinterior collection below.

Modernist desks for sale on Vinterior

Modernist desks for sale on Vinterior include among their number an array of Art Deco designs and some early forerunners of mid-century modern desks. Aesthetically, they contrast starkly with antique desks from the 19th century and earlier. Art Deco desks, in particular, are often characterised by their bold curves and chunky volume. The use of metallic detailing, whether to trim contours or as handles, is also typical of modernist Art Deco desks.

Why choose a modernist desk?

Why choose a modernist desk? Simply put, they are really phenomenal pieces that will make for a style statement in any corner of the home. These modernist desks, despite their extraordinary appearance in many cases, are timelessly stylish and will also be a wonderful heirloom to pass on to future generations.

How to style modernist desks

How you style a modernist desk depends on your tastes. Many of these sculptural desks are real showstoppers and do not necessarily need lots of adornment. Why distract from the original piece? However, one or two accessories cannot hurt. One great addition for a modernist desk is a lamp - why not pair it with a traditional clerk’s green table lamp or go the other direction and find something equally abstract in format? The postmodern era has many distinctive lamps that would look perfect atop a modernist desk.
