Designer Ernest Igl and his famous "igl jet" desk will make a well deserved come back with a limited and numbered production. The original release in of the Igl Jet in 1970 was right for the times and the cool modern styling became in instant cult classic. Now a limited run of 1,970 units will be produced from polyurethane with matte or high gloss finish in pearl-white, deep black, aluminum metallic or orange metallic. This contemporary desk will also feature three steel and soft stop drawers on each side. I am not sure how much the new igl Jet desk will cost but as we all know cool isn't cheap! See more here.

Today's office furniture and office environments are not as stale and boring as they were in the past, and the furnishings have kept up with the demand for style. Arper and designer Jean-Marie Massaud conspired to created the Ashton executive desk chair series which is perfect for conference rooms, commercial offices, and executive meeting rooms. The Direction, Office, and Conference models are distinguished by the height of the chair-back and are available in a choice of two bases: a 4-star base with optional automatic seat positioning mechanism, or 5-star base with castors and a gas-operated height adjustment mechanism.

Giorgetti furniture of Italy has evolved into an innovative and design oriented manufacturer from the family workshop founded in Meda in 1898. Since that time Giorgetti has joined forces with the top designers and architects of the past generation who have created simply stunning designs as evidence of their brilliance. Names like Massimo Scolari, Léon Krier and Chi Wing Lo, along with Antonello Mosca and Laura Silvestrini form the group of exclusive Giorgetti designers. One of my favorite pieces is the "Scriptor" executive desk and return that combines a large flat plane with one rounded, and one squared end that is supported by a cone and rectangular element for continuity of shape. The return has a complimentary desk top shape in glass that feeds from the cone and is supported by a cylindrical shaped drawer system. See the entire Giorgetti collection including beds, arm chairs, sofas, lighting, and storage shelving here.
