DESIGN STUNNING INTERIORS WITH VINTAGE DREXEL DESKS

Looking to remix your home office? There’s no better place to start than vintage Drexel Heritage desks. Ranking high among America’s most beloved furniture brands, Drexel—also known as Drexel Heritage—was renowned for their stylistic aptitude that allowed them to craft furniture that encompassed a wide array of trends and styles throughout the mid 20th century. Use a Drexel antique desk in an elaborate chinoiserie style to bring an artful element to a room full of traditional furniture. Whether partnered with a bright lacquered Ming chair or an acrylic zig-zag chair, it’s easy to cue up an elegantly eclectic look. For a more modern interior, consider a desk designed by Edward Wormley, who worked extensively with the brand throughout the 1950s. His three-panel desk for the brand’s Precedent series, possesses an undeniably glamorous note, showcasing minimalist Mid-Century design fused with a luxurious, Regency-inspired sophistication factor. Use one of these Edward Wormley Drexel desks as a vanity partnered with velvet bergere or even teamed with a dramatic Memphis-inspired seat. The desk’s simple but bold stylings make it ideal for blurring stylistic lines. On the hunt for something more atomic-inspired? Try an antique Drexel desk designed by John van Koert. His model K-80 desk, available in both large and small models, features dramatic, tapered sawhorse legs and a gently tilted desk surface that could be likened to an architect’s drafting table. Use one of these chairs partnered with a classic Mid-Century office chair like a Charles Pollock Chair or Steelcase chair to recall the era’s playful exuberance.
