The desk was made of Baydur, a plastic specially developed by Bayer AG in the 1970s. This made it possible to produce the desk with all its curves in a single casting.
The writing tablet can be lifted using a button underneath the tablet.
There is a storage space underneath the top with a lever that can be used to centrally lock the left and right drawers.
The desk has been restored to the original color specifications and is in perfect condition. The Bang Olufsen telephone was placed later.
