In the number one slot was this M.F Harty desk by Stow Davis that sold along with its credenza at Bonhams and Butterfild in LA. I believe this model desk is the same as the one used as P Diddys desk in the film "get him to the greek". If there is a nicer desks that exists then I have yet to come across it.
and the matching credenza..... ( I cant download the image as a Jpeg so here is the link....

Next up and in a very very close second its a Pace Collection desk by Leon Rosen. I love this desk, I would quite happily sit behind one of these every day for the rest of my life. (photos taken from 1stdibs Orange Living)
Finally there was a Paul Evans Cityscape desk sold at Wright20 in Chicago a few months back. It has taken me a bit of time to come around to Paul Evans designs but I loved this desk the second I saw it.
Next time around will be the great desks I managed to buy. If you have a favorite mid-century desk that you want to share or sell please email me on
