Rare Jet Desk, designed by Ernest Igl Hofmann and produced by Wilhelm Werndl in Germany in the 1970s. The model is made from PU Baydur, a rigid moulded polyurethane material that allowed the desk’s rounded, continuous forms to be produced. This example is a compact version, retaining its original beige / cream-white lacquer, combined with dark brown drawers and a newly fitted dark brown carpet in the foot area.
The Jet Desk shows how Igl moved away from the traditional, angular wooden office desk. Instead, he created a closed plastic volume with rounded edges, recessed circular details and integrated storage. Its compact size makes this example easier to place than the larger versions, while still retaining the strength of the design.
In very good vintage condition with light signs of use consistent with age.
