Like the houses she designed, Grossman’s 62 Series Desk (1952) is defined by its diminutive scale and lightness of form. With a wink toward the space-age aesthetic of the time, it’s both playful and elegant – and because it looked to be 10 years ahead of its time when it was designed in 1952, Grossman named it for the future year of ’62. Fast-forward to today, and its timeless quality endures. With its mix of natural and man-made materials, the 62 Series Desk exemplifies how Grossman combined Scandinavian and Californian design influences. “Comfort was a prime consideration,” said Grossman of this design, “as well as functional character that comes from the elimination of the nonessentials.” Inside are three drawers on soft-closing vacuum glides.
