Thank you for viewing my work.
This is a large desk, made from Indian mango wood, constructed in a solid modernist style, with three drawers, fantastic solid tapered legs, reminiscent of Jean Prouve furniture, allowing spacious leg room below the working and storing area.
Products and processes.
Thorough cleaning and sanding, followed by three coats of Frenchic 'Earthy' paint to all four legs, three coats of Frenchic 'Pistache' to main body, table top, back, sides, front drawer apertures and under side (photos available on request). Left and right drawer fronts in ReColour 'Teal', with Rustoleum 'Chalky White' for hand painted pattern. Centre drawer front in bespoke mixed undercoat and top coat by Johnstones paints, followed with 'Pistache', 'Chalk White' and 'Teal' hand painted patterns. Videos and photographs of all processes available on request. Clear wax used to seal drawer fronts.
Inspiration and influence for design and colour.
The entire desk has an organic modernist look, with a French post war era feel, so I opted for muted complementary colours for the main areas and bright secondary complementaries for the drawer fronts, repeating the colours all over again in the details of the design. For the actual pattern I took inspiration from the mid century David Whitehead of Rawtenstall catalogues, particularly the surface patterns of Marion Mahler and Tom Mellor, and I replicated the line quality to fit the drawer fronts individually after practising on sample boards. The sample boards are also available by request.This desk is ready to use and in excellent repainted condition. drawers are running smoothly. The desk will arrive with legs wrapped separately, and they are easy to screw into place when you have found the right spot for the desk in your home.
Customer Reviews
We are absolutely delighted with the dressing table. It’s unique and half the price of a new one but so much better. Delighted with the quality, value for money snd the service. Lee wouldn’t be more helpful. Thank you.
Bought a wonderful transformed sideboard on here from Fab and Funky furniture . Our initial choice was sold out and they sourced alternatives for us and kept us informed and updated all the way through the process . Customer care was second to none and we love the finished product !
This cabinet , made so beautifully by Nicky Turner , is an absolute stunner , and perfect as a drinks cabinet , with an additional mirrored shelf ! And the best part, it was delivered to me within 5 days of ordering , with Nicky making sure I was updated at every step, and using a good courier company .Very professional , very clear, easy payment process and very responsive ! I am so glad I found Upcite ! More power to you !

Packaging was superb, communication excellent and my desk was delivered by the best courier I've ever had, he went above and beyond!

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
