The Desk is a writing table from the Mise en Scène collection by Tatjana von Stein, combining leather and walnut in a form that reads as furniture before it reads as workspace.
The surface is covered in leather, a material that ages with use and develops a patina particular to each owner. The walnut structure brings warmth and a direct reference to the mid-century study tradition, reframed here through the collection's contemporary sensibility.
Within Mise en Scène, pieces are designed for rooms that hold life: the desk is conceived not as office equipment but as a domestic object with standing. Like all pieces in the collection, it moves between functional requirement and sculptural presence.
Made-to-order with French artisans at Aurige, each desk is numbered, signed, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

About
Tatjana von Stein
Tatjana von Stein works from London as a collectible furniture designer, bringing a French-German perspective to a practice that moves between interior architecture and sculptural form.
Her approach centers on the psychology of space: the premise that furniture shapes how people feel in a room as much as it furnishes it. Von Stein established her reputation as co-founder of Sella Concept in 2016, an interior architecture practice that sharpened her understanding of how objects and enclosure interact. In 2023 she founded her eponymous studio, turning that accumulated thinking toward made-to-order collectible furniture, pieces numbered and signed, each delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
The Mise en Scène collection, eight inaugural pieces, takes dance as its organizing principle, specifically the choreographic exchange between Martha Graham and Isamu Noguchi, where bodies and objects share the same stage. Each piece holds architectural precision in tension with expressive form: burl wood for its organic patterning, lacquer surfaces that catch and redirect light, silk and metal details that add tactile contrast. All work is produced with Aurige, a Paris atelier of heritage craftspeople. Her ambition is for these pieces to become future classics, objects conceived to outlast their moment.
On Monde Singulier, von Stein's furniture reaches collectors looking for bespoke work at this level. Surface Magazine named her Designer of the Day in 2023.
