"Wire" Desk by Terence Conran for Habitat, 1980s (White Matte Glass)

Rare configuration of the iconic wireframe desk, designed by Sir Terence Conran for Habitat in the 1980s. Purchased by its first and only owner at the former Habitat boutique in Brussels in 1997 and stored away for the last two decades. Specifications & Form Factor: While the majority of Conran Wire desks were produced in deep, square-like dimensions, this particular piece features a rare streamlined footprint measuring 165 cm wide by 55 cm deep. These proportions made it more suited for smaller living spaces as a sleek writing desk or a statement console table. Please note that due to the dimensions of this version, the L-shaped wireframe legs are meant to be used only vertically for this setup. Material & Condition Details: Glass top: White etched matte glass (8 mm thickness) in pristine condition, entirely free of scratches, chips, or surface defects.  Chrome wireframe base: Both L-shaped mesh pedestal bases are structurally sound with all original welds fully intact. The chrome does not show visual rust, though it feels rough to the touch due to its age. It can be left as-is for those who prefer the authentic untouched vintage texture, but polishing prior to pickup upon buyer's request can be discussed. Rubber Spacers: Includes the original rubber spacer tubes that sit around the frame under the glass and on the bottom. As is natural for rubber of this age, they show different levels of discolouration. Dimensions: Width: 165 cm. Depth: 55 cm. Height: 72 cm. Glass Thickness: 8 mm. Provenance & Location: Single-owner history (Purchased in Brussels in 1997, stored since 2002). Pickup Location: Utrecht, The Netherlands. The desk will be carefully disassembled upon sale so it is ready for immediate and safe transport. Due to the dimensions and the fragile nature of the 8mm glass top, local pickup is recommended but transport is possible.
