JULES WABBES, Writing Desk for Mobilier Universel

Beautiful writing desk designed by Jules Wabbes and produced by Mobilier Universel in the 1960s, developed for one of his early large-scale office projects. The desk has a black-lacquered steel frame, a rectangular top, and a teak-veneered side pedestal. The pedestal includes a pull-out surface and three drawers with chrome-plated steel handles, each signed 'WABBES'.

Quality piece in very good condition. The woodwork is near perfect and the steel frame shows minor rubbing, giving the desk a very attractive patina.

About Jules Wabbes

Jules Wabbes (1919–1974) was a Belgian designer and interior architect known for his precise approach to material and construction. His early work in antiques and furniture restoration shaped the way he approached materials and making. His work is marked by a clear rejection of short-lived design trends, particularly the widespread use of plastics during the 1960s.

Instead, he focused on durable, high-quality materials, with a particular emphasis on wood. Through direct sourcing, often via the port of Antwerp, he ensured consistent material standards, combined with precise execution and attention to detail.
