'Arche' Desk by Charles Kalpakian

About the Item

‘Arche’ desk by French Lebanese Charles Kalpakian is a true gem, resounding in its elegance, simplicity, graphic unity and the complementarily of materials. Curves and straight lines fuse in an organic geometry. The satin glow of the varnished brushed patinated brass harmonizes with the top made of walnut. This cultivated piece of furniture stands like a bridge between design and the decorative arts. Charles Kalpakian's ‘Arche’ Desk is exclusively produced and sold by Galerie BSL in a limited edition of 8 pieces + 4 artist proofs. It can be custom-made in larger dimensions and in other wood and metal finishes. Pricing does not include 20% VAT applicable in the EU only. Charles Kalpakian’s design is the result of his mixed inspirations: France his country of residence; Lebanon his country of birth and Street Art, his contemporary artistic culture. These influences take shape through the reinterpretation of motifs from the decorative arts and the history of architecture, filtered by a resolute urban and contemporary culture. The stroke is always clean, even if the gesture resembles calligraphy in space.
