Designed by Keiji Ashizawa
The Rail Desk, imagined by Japanese designer Keiji Ashizawa, explores the way in which we use space and how design elements can be adapted to serve different functions. Looking to the world of architecture, the neat, precisionmade piece conveys a sense of serene practicality. With multiple functions ? as a desk, counter or shelf to store books, hung at any height you choose ? it lends itself to almost any setting and fits neatly into living areas as well as bedrooms where space is at a premium.

Inspired by the play on structure created by geometric constraints, the conical travertine base and curved, bronzed aluminium shade define the lamp?s perfectly balanced expression. The light diffuses evenly across the unworked stone, left raw to allow the […]
