Chinese Marble Partners Desk

Two people, one desk. It has been tried before.

This partners desk comes from Hebei Province, China, and is contemporary, made of walnut with Yunan marble. Partners desks were made for business partners or colleagues to work face to face at one surface, with drawers on both sides. Here two pedestals each hold a pair of drawers with ring pulls, and a broad, dark top in three panels spans them. Open geometric latticework fills the low shelves below. Seventy-two inches long and thirty-three deep.

It assumes you are on speaking terms.
