Ron Seff 'Deco Style' Scalloped Edge Ivory Linen Lacquered Desk, 1970s
A stunning, custom 'Deco Style' ivory linen desk designed by Ron Seff. This was a custom-made piece for a prominent client, wrapped in ivory lacquered fine linen with two drawers. The unique scalloped edges make this a truly showstopping piece. Absolutely meticulously crafted with the highest quality materials. It can also be used as a console or entryway table. Commissioned in the late 1970s, by the original owner. We also have the matching side tables/nightstands available. Unsigned.
In the 1970s, Ron Seff worked with Karl Springer to fabricate many furnishings for the Springer collection, which inspired some of his own designs. In 2001, Seff established his own design studio, where he could fully express his creative vision. His studio quickly gained recognition for its cutting-edge designs, attention to detail, and superb craftsmanship. Both the desk and side tables may be among the artist’s original showroom models and prototypes. None of these designs will be produced again and most of the remaining works are the last from their original production series.
RON SEFF (l934 - 1990) was a quintessential Manhattanite, living almost his entire life in the New York City. He opened his NYC workshop in 1968. Among his earliest patrons were legendary designers Michael Desantis, Mark Hampton, Robert Metzger, and Karl Springer. In the 1970s, Seff worked with Karl to fabricate many pieces for the Springer collection. Seff’s own designs take inspiration from great Art Deco masters, Bauhaus aesthetics, and modern sculpture. Each piece is crafted with extreme attention to detail and displays a timeless elegance. He has been credited with reviving the use of shagreen, lacquered goatskin, parchment, and straw, all popular Deco materials. Seff is also known for his distinctive use of metals and other exotic materials including mother of pearl, bone, rare woods, and animal skins.
