A roll-top is the sort of object defined by motion and interaction. Traditionally these desks feature a tamboured front that rolls out of the way to expose a fold out or sliding writing surfaces. Here, the most engaging feature, the rolling tambour and the essential function, a writing surface are united into a single gesture. This combination creates an effortlessly simple yet visually striking form.

 

The solid white oak tambour that encapsulates the entire desk unfurls to reveal a thick felted surface, perfect for composing a letter through pen or pixel. When not in use the surface rolls up out of the way, concealing the interior and its contents; the resulting quiet but enticing silhouette is perfect for any domestic interior.
