62 Desk

$5,499

Made by GUBI

Designed by Greta M. Grossman

Designed by Greta M. Grossman in 1952, the 62 Desk is one of mid-century modernism's most quietly authoritative objects. Its asymmetric silhouette, carried on slender metal legs, achieves a balance that feels both considered and inevitable.

The walnut surface, offered in a deep black gloss finish, draws a precise tonal contrast against the desk's structural frame. A left-side cabinet with integrated drawers addresses the practical demands of a working environment without disrupting the composition's sense of lightness.

  • Designed by Greta M. Grossman, 1952
  • Asymmetric form with slender metal legs
  • Walnut surface in deep black gloss finish
  • Left-side cabinet with multiple drawers
  • Reissued by GUBI as part of their Grossman heritage collection

Grossman, a Swedish-born architect and designer who built her career in Los Angeles, brought a distinctly European spatial sensibility to California modernism. The 62 Desk reflects that dual inheritance: Scandinavian precision in its form, California ease in its proportion.
