Rail Desk

BY KEIJI ASHIZAWA

Looking to the world of architecture and his background in

steelworking when creating the Rail Desk, Japanese designer

Keiji Ashizawa explored the way in which we use space

and the way in which design elements can be adapted to

serve different functions. The neat, precision-made piece in

natural or stained oak conveys a sense of serene practicality.

With multiple functions – as a desk, counter or shelf to

store books, hung at any height you choose – it lends itself

to almost any setting and fits neatly into living areas as well

as bedrooms where space is at a premium. The minimalist

steel bracket is inspired by the handrail of a staircase and the

wooden platform provides a tactile contrast.
