If you’ve ever wanted something but been told you can’t have it, you’ll understand the obsession I had with saddle shoes a couple decades ago. A shiny new pair of tan and white kicks would have been my top choice, but I would have done with a scuffed black and white pair from the stinky kid’s garage sale. Since my desires in tan and white has shifted gears since then, Blu Dot‘s design team has come up with my latest craze with a desk design that will knock your donut-rolled socks off: the two-toned Cant Desk.

Cant Desk. Designed by Blu Dot

The desk features a cantilevered silhouette characterized by an expansive walnut veneer desktop. It’s perfect for those who seek simplicity in their work environment with ample to spread out. They used steel for the shelving plank that rests at the back of the unit, solving organization issues by keeping your supplies an arm’s length away from the work at hand. Without drawers to knock your shins on, the thin walnut veneer legs shoot downward in strong angles that quietly speak the language of structural conviction while remaining delicate and symmetrical. The lack of hidden compartments seems purposeful – as if to say that what is important to your productivity is right in front of you and will keep you afloat regardless of your desk, or economic, situation. The Cant desk, metaphorically speaking, is like a launching platform – ready to help you get where you want to go.

Measuring in at a charming 34″ H, 42″ W, and 25″ D, the Cant Desk rests in spaces of all sizes and shapes. Since Blu Dot is committed to keeping their prices reasonable and their products of a very high quality, the retail price is just $599. It is available in a walnut veneer with grey steel (shown) or a walnut veneer with bright red steel. Blu Dot makes it easy to dream big, buy solid, live simply, and find yourself back in the saddle with their newest desk, the Cant, that absolutely can.
