The Design.

This beautiful and functional solid wood desk was designed by Troels Ritzau in the tradition of the Danish Modern design school. The design ethos is reflected in the clean lines and honest joinery of the product. It boasts elegance and strength, a superb combination that makes the Umwindsi Desk an excellent investment.

The Umwindsi solid wood desk is built as a knock down kit. It is very easy to re-assemble, simplifying transportation of the desk whenever needed. Instructions for assembly will be provided if required.

Material and construction.

The drawer box is built with half blind dovetail joints and through dovetail joints. This is a difficult skill to master, but provides great strength and beauty to this solid hardwood desk. All components are solid Zambezi Teak, even drawer bottoms and sides. Other cabinet makers would build these out of softwood or plywood to save on cost and weight, but at The African Touch we do not believe in any compromise on quality. Alternative handles can also be provided. The desk looks fantastic with slot handles or solid brass drop handles.

Where is this desk most useful?

The Umwindsi desk is very versatile. It is compact enough for a home office, yet has the design and beautiful timber suited to high end commercial offices.

We would like to recommend the Chobe Chair to partner this solid wood desk. the elegant lines and beautiful design of this chair perfectly compliment the Umwindsi Desk.

Dimensions	160 × 90 × 75 cm

To protect your Umwindsi Desk’s lacquered finish place it away from direct sunlight. Apply a good furniture wax or polish, initially twice a month, thereafter once a month. Apply sufficient to thinly cover the surface. As it dries (becomes dull) buff with a clean cloth until a beautiful sheen is achieved. Between waxings, keep the finish clean with a soft cloth or duster, and buff without wax.

We will supply you with our suggested care and maintenance guidelines to ensure life-long enjoyment of your furniture. However we cannot be held responsible for repairing / replacing this product if you don’t follow these guidelines.

We build with timber harvested from natural forests. The charm of this material is that no two pieces are exactly the same in colour, character or grain, and they will contain natural imperfections such as knots, stress cracks and so on that enhance their authenticity and attractiveness. As a result no 2 pieces will ever be identical and products may have natural imperfections. However, these will never be allowed to compromise the quality of construction of your piece.
