Minimal. Maximal.
Modular.

At its core, the 1948 is a desk that can grow and change with you: keep it clean and minimal or kit it out with modules to make it your own. Some add-ons will be available at launch, but even more are on their way.

Beautifully crafted in the USA

A desk 75 years in the making.

In 1948, the MoMA held a contest for low-cost designer furniture. Some of the world’s greatest designers and architects participated, showing off midcentury designs still popular today.

The 1948 Modular Desk is a modern piece of furniture built in the spirit of that contest: lovely, low cost, and long-lasting. Available in two sizes and packed with customization options, the 1948 is built for today and 75 years from now.

The 1948 Collection

The 1948 Modular Desk is a modern piece of furniture build for our ever-changing modern lives. Available in two sizes and expandable with a selection of modules. Made in Massachusetts, USA.
