In the early 19th Century the Shakers produced a tall, plain version known as the ‘cupboard desk’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe restrained modernist elevation by Robin Day marries with the Hilleplan family through dimensions and detailing, though the cabinet-making is more complex with the combination of drawers and desk unit. The marriage works well and despite the simple design, the use of contrasting elm and walnut adds a dynamic and affluent feel. The recessed handles provide a flat and minimal appearance to the desk, which is echoed through the functionalist layout within. The writing desk was the more expensive and is thus a rarer model from the Hilleplan family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hilleplan range was designed in 1952 and based around an 18inch module. It was Robin Day’s first storage system that reached production following his award-winning design for MOMA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hilleplan range of units were designed to offer users flexibility and to work singularly, or as part of a system. It was quite different from anything else in the market at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobin Day went to design several other storage systems, such as Interplan, that anticipated the demand for flexible needs in both domestic and commercial interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hille","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31293891870831,"sku":"991223","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/4966\/8207\/products\/robin-day-hilleplan-secretaire-1.jpg?v=1644974250","url":"https:\/\/www.twentytwentyone.mom\/products\/robin-day-hilleplan-desk","provider":"twentytwentyone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
