Henry Desk

The Henry keeps a desk's usual boxiness in check: solid reclaimed oak and a thick oak veneer top, with corners subtly rounded instead of squared off, in a rustic grey or charcoal wash that leans handcrafted rather than polished. It was designed in partnership with longtime Four Hands collaborator Thomas Bina and Brazilian designer Ronald Sasson, and the restraint shows. As an office desk, it reads more like a console that happens to work than a piece of office furniture.

At 70 inches wide and 25 inches deep, it gives a laptop and a monitor real breathing room without taking over a home office, and the slim 31-inch-tall profile keeps the piece from feeling bulky against a wall.

Styling Tips

Because the profile is so slim, the Henry works well against a wall in a home office or even a bedroom corner, somewhere a bulkier desk would feel like too much furniture. Rustic Grey keeps the room light and works against white or pale walls; Charcoal Oak grounds a brighter space instead.

Pair it with a simple task chair rather than a heavily upholstered one, since the desk's appeal is in the restraint of the wood. Round out the space from our office chairs collection.
