This is an own-design inspired in several desks found in web pages and magazines. I hope the A&C style was suitably captured.

A detail of the hutch. The glass door was decorated with Decraled (a self-adhesive lead tape)

View from the side. Oak is not available in Uruguay, so the best substitute is Cerejeira (Amburana cearensis). Very nice wood to work with. It also takes a nice finish.

There is a hidden space for cables, chargers, transformers, et al. Inside there is a power strip to plug all these. Very convenient.

I retired as Surveying Engineer some time ago. After leaving office I wanted a desk for my home place. I settled for A&C style and started looking for inspiration. Finally, I came up with an o/d which I hope captures the spirit. This is not for me to say.

Future plans include a swivel chair, a file cabinet, a side table and a two-place sofa. I will submit these as they get completed. A period lamp is also being considered.

Design or Plan used: My own design
