Designed by Atelier Pendhapa, the Akar Desk Lacquer reflects the studio’s language of furniture treated as architecture, shaped by French architect Antonin Hautefort and Indonesian architect Ignatio Tenggara. The duo hand-carve solid wood into sculptural forms, often combined with hand-woven French rattan mesh mounted using traditional methods onto a solid wooden core.
This Akar desk pairs a frame of natural oak with a lacquered top in a deep fir green, fitted with three drawers, and can equally be ordered on a teak frame. Part of the Akar collection made with Métaphores, sister house to Hermès, it channels the same organic, gravity-defying language of hand-carved solid wood, its undulating legs offering a jewel-like counterpoint to the smooth, saturated lacquer surface.
Both architects by training, Antonin Hautefort and Ignatio Tenggara met at the Architectural Association in London while completing their master of Architecture. While Antonin grew up in France, Ignatio comes from Indonesia: their radically different cultural background and their fascination for local craftsmanship motivated them to start a design studio together. Atelier Pendhapa was founded in 2019 with the ambition to dissolve the boundaries between furniture and architecture. They have since been developing projects of various scales from bespoke pieces and interior design to holistic architectural projects all around the world.
