A 1970s Leather-Topped Executive Desk with a Built-In Swappable Accessory Rail

By Danish designer Alex Linder

By Rain Noe - March 23

in Furniture Design

Though this was designed in the 1970s, this desk looks closer to modern-day furniture than say, a desk from the 1950s.

Danish designer Alex Linder's Executive Desk has no drawers, and features a recessed aluminum rail that takes a variety of accessories: A desk lamp, a clock, a calendar, a countdown timer (presumably for meetings), little storage bins and, this being the '70s, an ashtray.

The user chooses where to place the accessories within the rail.

The desk surface is leather, an unusual choice both now and then.

If this thing was height-adjustable and had appeared on a current-day Kickstarter, I wouldn't bat an eye.
