DESIGN AROUND: A METAL DESK

Building a look around a quality statement piece is a good way to anchor a room. When augmented with lower-cost pieces, it’s also a good way to achieve a look that’s greater than the sum of its parts. This week’s Design Around is an office space based on a metal desk.

 

The Parsons desk is already a classic, but this hand-wrapped metal version from West Elm really steals the show. $499.

The CoCo Cabana chair from Urban Outfitters is made of reclaimed steel and would look great shimmied up next to the desk.  $189.

This Silver Pebbles rug from CB2 isn’t necessarily cheap (at $399) but it’s big (5′ x 8′) and—as The Dude would say—it really ties the room together.
