The YES desk is part of a collection called « YES ».

The desk is 2 meters in length and 1 meter in width, with a height of 0.75 meters. Each item is unique, numbered, signed and dated.

 

THE BASE

The base consists of a core grid made out of solid brass. The grid has been carved from a solid metal block in order to achieve its final form using a waterjet cutting process (an industrial technique well suited to create random shapes).Once the carving is done, this brass base is mirror-polished on the edges and matified on its surfaces. This step is indispensable in order to obtain the required effect before application of the gold bath.The engraving of personal symbols is also executed before application of the gold coating. The foot is coated with different colours of gold, always 24 carats.The colours are : yellow, white, pink or black gold. The gold bath is carried out through electrolysis, each leg is coated with a layer varying between 0.5 and 1 mm, corresponding to a weight ranging from 100 grams to 1 kilogram per leg. My personal hallmark is then stamped.

 

THE DESKTOP

The heart of the desktop is made out of yellow poplar, a wood that is perfectly suited to veneering. Over this heart a sawn precious wood veneer is glued (sawn veneering is exceptional these days because due to its thickness, between 1 and 2 mm, it gives a solid wood appearance.) Only one workshop in Europe does sawn veneer).The precious woods we offer are : Macassar ebony, Rio
rosewood, Ziricotte, Snakewood and rosewood. This 5.5 mm thick desktop contains a drawer. Each desktop has a hidden compartment.The next step is lacquering with a silky varnish, a task that requires great skill, in order to ensure lasting solidity over the centuries. The last step is the sheathing of the desk blotter with different qualities of coating. To match the colour of the desk, we offer crocodile, snakeskin and shagreen. The desk displayed in Abu Dhabi is in Ziricotte and shagreen. On the right hand side of the desk is the diamond marquetry case.The cabinetmakers are of course among France’s elite craftsmen.
