Bastian Office Desk in Solid Oak

With so many of us now working and studying at home, it’s time to ensure we are comfortable and focused while we do it. The gorgeous Bastian Office Desk offers a functional working space. The drawers can be set up on either the left or the right, depending on the needs of your work space. 

Enjoy the elegant, minimalist form of this desk: the beveled table top is complemented by 3 drawers for storage framed with an inverted beveled edge. Drawer fronts feature a grooved lip for ease of opening. The smooth, velvety texture and soft, warm tones of solid American Oak blend with versatile design: the drawers can be installed on either side of the Desk.

Clean and sharp, the solid wood Desk is inspired by the Scandinavian and Mid-Century modern furniture movements and is designed for living. With the right care, this desk will provide a modern work or study space for decades to come.

Initial Concept

The concept for the Bastian Office Desk was simplicity - a statement piece of furniture in the Scandinavian style that could easily accommodate at home work and study needs. A space to be productive, yet a beautiful piece of furniture which would add to, not detract from the style of your home. The initial idea for the Bastian Office Desk combines form and function with their proud tradition of valuing the authenticity of materials to craft quality furniture, designed for living. 

Sourcing of Materials

We work hard to ensure that we’re always producing sustainable furniture. For example, the solid American oak which makes up the bulk of the Bastian office desk  is sourced from American forests which embrace sustainable principles - meaning the wood is sustainably harvested, works to restore the ecosystem, implements a replanting process, undertakes consistent environmental monitoring, and respects the land rights of indigenous peoples.

We also use oak because it's hardy and it lasts - it has a natural strength which makes it ideal for the interior home environment. Unlike veneered furniture, there's less damage from wear and tear so you don't have to throw it out to replace it with something equally replaceable. 

Our solid wood furniture is a provider of carbon storage and therefore has a positive effect on the planet by containing carbon, and its regrowth in sustainable managed forests adds to the carbon emission reduction. 

By crafting our solid American oak furniture, such as the Bastian office desk, from wood we are doing the best we can on the planet - making pieces that last through the generations and rejecting the tread of flat-pack, cheap, disposable, replaceable veneer furniture.
