Named as a reminder for the need to restore our British Forests. This home office desk has been crafted out of beautiful British Ash, a timber currently under threat from Ash dieback disease. Unfortunately we are set to loose approximately 95% of the species over the coming years. We aim to use as much of the species as possible, turning this stunning native timber into furniture rather than see it go to waste. Alongside our tree planting program we aim to see our British woodlands restored.
With gentle, sloping edges this piece is an extremely comfortable place to spend the day working from home. Storage space is provided with a spacious Oak drawer mounted on soft close runners and ever so slightly tapered legs ensure plenty of leg room. Available in bespoke sizes to suit your home office.
‘Ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a fungus which originated in Asia. It doesn’t cause much damage on its native hosts of the Manchurian ash (Fraxinus mandshurica) and the Chinese ash (Fraxinus chinensis) in its native range. However, its introduction to Europe about 30 years ago has devastated the European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) because our native ash species did not evolve with the fungus and this means it has no natural defence against it.’ for more information please visit the Woodland Trust website using the link below.
There is a deep connection between human beings and nature. Our sustainable furniture is specified by some of the world’s best designers and architects to create spaces that have the potential for a positive impact on our psychological, physiological and neurological responses.
