The Carlisle Desk was originally designed for the Reverend Christopher Carlisle, an avid writer and modernist. Inspired by the minister, Poritz designed a subtle, functional desk that showcased the richness of the tropical Nicaraguan hard wood. The front of the desk includes three drawers that angle inward. Instead of typical metal sliders, the desk drawers employ wood slats that are hand-waxed to open and close smoothly.
