Haworth New Office Furniture System: Upright Desk / Hermann Miller New Office Furniture System: Executive Desk – Photographs
01/01/1985Five photographs depicting the final construction of the upright desk. The first one is a view of the desk front corner, in a new full scale mock-up, demonstrating the change of direction from the normal way to adopting the method of four frames out of thick plywood. In the second view we have the four frames of the desk made out of plywood, already corrected; the other two views are the finished, but unpainted desk. And the final one shows the desk under preparation, with the first primer coat on, before being sprayed with red matt laquer to be cured in an oven.
