In 2019, the Mobilier National commissioned Nicolas Aubagnac to design a desk and its sideboard. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cabinetmakers of ARC (Atelier Recherche Cr\u00e9ation) were entrusted with the creation of these pieces, in their experimental workshop located within the historic buildings created by Auguste Perret in 1937.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While meeting ergonomic criteria, notably with integrated USB ports, this desk and side table boast a timeless aesthetic. They also represent a technical feat, combining a traditional material, Macassar ebony, with a contemporary material, Corian. The two-tone effect of the two materials underscores the dialogue between traditional woodworking and experimental design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To emphasize the official function and purpose of the piece, two translucent resin strips were set into the tabletop, one blue, the other red. A discreet celebration of the republican colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The desk is equipped with two pull-out shelves that open like wings thanks to a specially developed ball bearing mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strength, nobility, balance, this project of a symbolic nature is now open for publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
