Designed by David Irwin. The Davenport Bureau is designed to provide a separation between work and home life, to provide a dedicated space for work that can be easily folded away at the end of the working day.

When closed it reads like a cabinet, helping to remove the visual reminder of work when wanting to switch off. The straight sides also create more of an enclosure, slightly enveloping the user, with the aim of adding focus while working.

Internally, the proportions are generous, with lots of hidden compartments for a variety of stationery and other bits, a pin board for all those important reminders and photos of loved ones, and a hidden compartment for cables and lighting hardware.

Overall, it’s an understated design with a focus on the quality of materials and hardware, with rounded edges that help soften the overall appearance, a motif that is carried through to the brass handle and interior detailing.
