Whale Tail Desk
2002
Wood
75-1/2" x 57-1/2" x 32" high
The gravity defying cantilevered design of the Whale Tail Desk was inspired by the natural form of the rare North Atlantic Right Whale as it breeches in preparation for a deep dive. The lower torso/pedestal is bolted to the floor for stability, while wiring is concealed by means of an internal "vertebrae" wire management system. The oval shaped "blow hole" in the top is an anthracite grommet for wire access.

More information on the creative process behind this desk can be found at the following blog post.

The desk as shown was crafted from Macassar Ebony and is currently part of a private collection in Moscow.
