A mahogany desk designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Henredon.

This gorgeously refinished Honduran Mahogany 'Taliesin' desk with pull-out table was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Heritage-Henredon in 1955 and produced only for two years, therefore is now a highly sought-after and rare collectors item. This example is signed with the Heritage-Henredon by Frank Lloyd Wright engraved signature in one drawer and red square logo underneath the pull out table. This rare Frank Lloyd Wright highboy desk, which also works excellent as a vanity table or console, features three shallow drawers and five deep drawers all standing on a signature Taliesin Nakashima-style base with four casters (which can be removed if desired) allowing this to move freely throughout your room. This desk was finished on the backside so that it could be placed either against a wall or in the middle of the room as you desire. This rare collectors desk includes a pull-out table that fits inside of the kneehole area of the desk and works great as a laptop table, TV dinner table, side or occasional table, snack table, typewriter table, telephone table or more. Frank Lloyd Wright stated that one of his goals for this line was for the 'design to make the home more efficient as well as more beautiful'. Woven into each piece of this series was the chamfered wood edge with an abstracted Greek key motif, the signature detail of every Taliesin design, covering the edges of each item in the collection. All of the pieces were executed in Honduran Mahogany, a high-end luxury wood choice. His idea was to design ‘infinite adaptability to American living’, for example desks could double as dressing tables, small tables could be used as a chair or stool and bookcases had moveable tops transforming into room dividers. Decoration was limited to the greek key edges so that ‘is of the piece, not on it’ and the removal of elimination of any hardware door or drawer pulls in favor of cut out flush pulls which ‘catch light and shadow for interesting and changing patterns’. Wright pitched three separate concepts to Heritage Henredon: ‘Burberry’, ‘Honeycomb’ and ‘Four Square’ which was the one chosen to go into production and renamed ‘Taliesin’ after Wrights Wisconsin home. A distinguishing feature of the Taliesin line is that each piece is identified with a branded signature which was often accompanied by a red square. No other items from the rest of Wright's career is marked or identified which makes this line more desirable to collectors. This beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright Taleisin work table would work great in a Craftsman, Farm House, Monterey, Spanish, Mission, Arts & Crafts, Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a desk, writing table, vanity table, dressing room table...
