Christian Watson Limited designed the Wandle Desk as a curvaceous and dynamic writing desk that would contrast Christian’s minimal style with a pared[1]back palette of materials and bold lines, with subtle and dynamic curves and a stunning, simple, kidney shape. The design will create a statement in any setting, whilst providing ample and ergonomic space for homeworking.

Christian Watson wanted to create something that would encompass both the striking straight lines and subtle simple curved lines and maintain its function perfectly. The kidney-shaped writing surface is held up by three minimal straight legs, whilst a bar runs through each leg mirroring the long curve on the top surface. This bar creates harmony between the bold straight lines and minimal curves. The Wandle is a writing desk that is made entirely from metal and is available in monochrome black and white. The solid metal frame is another contrast with the organic shape of the desk, bringing the man-made and natural together. Designed to suit any environment to either blend in or to be a statement piece.

With each desk handmade to order, the Wandle can be personalised to suit any client, and the team can manufacture the frame size and colour to match any interior scheme. All of Christian’s work is created to be a future antique and be handed down for generations. Built to outlast fleeting trends, it is all about keeping furniture in the home, to not throw away and discard, but to love and to last, and to hand down for generations, which is why the metal frame is created with uncompromising quality.
