The desk in a manager's office does a different job from the desks on the floor: it meets clients, it anchors the room, and it is allowed to look like somebody chose it. Our executive desk offering centres on the Oslo family, with its clean tops and natural wood edge detail, and pairs naturally with Volta under desk power modules so charging cables never dangle across a client's eyeline.

Choosing an executive desk
Size up honestly. A private office can usually afford 1800mm of desk width, and it should take it, because an executive desk carrying a monitor, a phone and a notepad on a small top just looks busy. Think about where visitors sit too: a desk with a clean front face works far better when people sit opposite you than one showing off its cabling. Power built into or under the desk keeps the surface clear for the work that actually happens there.
Finish sets the tone. The Oslo look, a pale top with a timber edge, reads modern and calm; if the room calls for something with more shine, our high gloss furniture range does boardroom gloss properly. Match the desk to the storage rather than the other way round, because a lone dark desk against light office cupboards always looks like a mistake.
Completing the office
An executive desk deserves a chair to match, and the executive chairs range covers mesh and fabric alongside traditional leather office chairs. If the same room hosts meetings, a small table from boardroom tables saves everyone crowding round the desk.
