The story

This vanity desk and stool set are rendered in monochromatic black, created by black metal, black opaline, and black piqué sellier (saddle stich) leather. The sleek look is interrupted only by small, charming brass accents—an apt choice to both reinforce the deepness of black color and the brilliance of the brass. The design is typical of French designer Jacques Adnet, who is known for his careful balance of traditional, streamlined shapes and avant-garde risks. Like many of Adnet’s designs, the desk and stool culminate in round, solid brass sabots and incorporate the piqué sellier leather for infusions of luxury. The set could be used as either a small desk or a vanity in a bedroom or dressing room. It’s incredibly high-quality made and is a rare.

About Jacques Adnet

Jacques Adnet (1900-1984) was a French architect and designer who directed the Compagnie des Arts Français from 1928-1959. His modernism combined chrome, glass and mirror with fine woods and, most famously, furniture covered in stitched saddle leather, a style associated with his work with Hermès. He also designed lighting and interiors for public and private clients. Collectors look for leather clad pieces and lighting of the 1940s and 1950s.
