What kind of desk can be named as 'the most beautiful desk in the world'? Perhaps this office desk in walnut from Denmark. Designed by Bodil Kjær in 1959, the Office Desk in Walnut is the first design of its kind. It is made of selected solid walnut, whose table legs make it feel like floating mid-air.
