In this first Designer’s Notebook department, we take a look at the inspiration and design process behind a desk by Timothy Rousseau. The inspiration was Danish Modern, and the end view of the desk was the element that consumed much of the maker’s initial energy. But the process of designing furniture is influenced by lots of different things, and some of them are unintended. In this case, time constraints came into play and helped to simplify and clarify Rousseau’s vision of the desk. The end result? Judge for yourselves.

Thank you so much for this. I love the shape, curves and simplicity. Thank you for the article. I will incorporate the idea of a full size plan on kraft paper and then building a full size mock-up to get the joinery right. Those two steps alone would save me double the time of the entire project.
