Description
An original 1950’s desk design reinvigorated for today, the cubic Tanis is as functional as it is eloquent. Designed by Pierre Paulin, after his success at the Salon des Arts Ménagers de Paris in 1953, Paulin began collaborating with Thonet-France the following year, principally designing desks and chairs.
It was then that he designed the ‘CM 141’ desk, which is being reproduced by Ligne Roset (since 2008) under the name Tanis: its original design has been scrupulously respected, but the ‘self-effacing’ finishes of the era have been updated and enriched. The writing surface is made from soft-touch, scratch-resistant FENIX laminate, in black to match the black lacquered steel base, whilst the 2 drawers are finished in a natural walnut veneer.
