Maurice CALKA, 1921-1991
France
Prototype of large model desk known as Grand PDG, 1969.

Unlike the models that were put into production and marketed, this prototype does not have drawers, nor does it have niches in the front part or a swivel seat.
An adjustable seat also designed by Maurice Calka, with white lacquer fibreglass shell upholstered in black-stained suede was added later so that it could serve as a work desk.
