The pandemic revised our relationship with the desk. In a world upturned it became a much required stable ground, a place to return to everyday, to work. The desk has always held such a promise of stability in the modern world, often serving as a site for building rituals and forming habits. It was in appreciation of this that Klemens revisited the Study Table & Stool for this collection.

Simple, sleek and hand-crafted, the Nandi Study Table's linear form takes up little space but is spacious enough for all your work needs. It is constructed with solid teak legs and frame, and teak veneer on thin plywood for the table top. The direction of the grains in the veneer are perpendicular to the direction of grains on the outer teakwood frames. The visible joinery details at the intersection of the legs and the frame show the classical woodworking used in its construction.

The Nandi Study Stool it comes with echoes its straight lines and fits smoothly under it. lt was designed to accompany the Nandi desk, but works just as well independently. It has a similar construction as the table, with a solid teak frame and seat made with teak veneer on plywood. Like the Study Table, the grains of veneer are perpendicular to the frames. “The seat of the stool has a slight incline to tilt the pelvis slightly forward and straighten the spine. This allows you to sit on the stool for long periods and keep your concentration”, says Grund. Its compact, linear form makes it ideal for small spaces and city apartments.

We offer this product in a choice of Natural Teak and Dark Stain. For Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded to smoothness and transparent wood polish and sealer are applied with a soft cloth to bring out the natural golden brown colour of teak. For Dark Stain, a coat of teak stain is hand applied to give the wood a darker, deeper shade. Please note, each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary a little from the reference image.
