What better antidote to writer's block than a slim, sleek, and sublimely handcrafted Danish-style desk? If you're struggling to find the words, perhaps Aellon's Mead Writing Desk will inspire you to put pen to paper-or fingers to iPad as the case may be.

The Mead Writing Desk Offers a Timeless Modern Aesthetic

Although it may seem contradictory to modify "modern" with "timeless," I'd submit that we're far enough out from Modernism's hey-dey to quantify it so, and the Mead Writing Desk is proof positive that Modern design has endured.

The piece synthesizes its modern aesthetic with a contemporary conservationist ethos-the desktop is made of sustainably harvested teak, and the frame and legs are constructed of recycled powder-coated steel.

Beyond the expansive, inviting hand-crafted surface-which is, after all, all a writer needs-the piece features two pull-out soft-close drawers and a storage nook on top: "This inviting danish-influenced desk is a writer's best friend… Sitting here, you'll never want to work anywhere else."
