This design is a spin-off of my Aurora Table Desk. Both pieces are original designs by Darrell, but borrow inspiration from Greene and Greene as well as others.
The Bottom two drawers will accommodate either letter or legal files. The center top drawer is available either as a keyboard pullout with fall down front or as a more standard pencil drawer.

There is one tsuba shaped ebony wire-way inlayed in the top. A tsuba is the guard between the handle and the blade on a Japanese sword. They came in many shapes and Charles Greene had a collection of them. This particular tsuba shape can was used often by Greene and Greene - especially in the Gamble House.

The "straps" are Darrell's interpretation of a little used and not widely known Greene and Greene detail from the Ford House Letter Case.

The drawer pulls are a James Krenov inspired detail.
