Cleopatra Writing Desk by Troy Smith Studio

The Cleopatra Desk is a striking piece of contemporary art characterized by its bold design and use of industrial materials. Its primary structure is crafted from steel rebar, a material typically associated with construction, yet it's reimagined with elegance here.

The steel rebar is finished in a vibrant purple powder coat, which adds a protective layer and a visually arresting hue that beautifully contrasts with the desk's natural wood elements.

The fluid and curvilinear rebar structure supports the glass tabletop. Its central circular design adds a sense of balance and movement to the desk and makes it stand out as a unique, sculptural piece.

The drawers, veneered in luxurious Macassar Ebony, are polished to a high lacquered finish, showcasing the wood's striking natural grain. The deep, rich tones of the ebony veneer create a refined contrast to the purple steel frame, emphasizing the interplay of materials. The drawers are not merely decorative but fully functional, providing a seamless blend of art and utility.

The overall design of the Cleopatra Desk merges industrial robustness with opulent finishes, creating a conversation piece that is both aesthetically captivating and practical for modern spaces.
