Entry Desk

Linen Martini

Short description

As you step inside, the entry table greets you warmly, adorned with carefully selected objects, inviting you into the comforting embrace of home. Positioned near the chair where you untie your boots and the closet that holds your coat, this table stands resolute. Turning on the table’s lamp you illuminate a dear photo and cast a glow across the cherished books that ignite your soul. An open dish beside the lamp casually catches your keys and the day’s smaller findings, just before you make your way to the kitchen.

The sun sinking, you set a pot for tea and slice a baguette, add to it a bit of butter and ham, and twist out the cork of yesterday’s wine for a relaxing evening. Settling on the couch you savor each bite and sip as your body rests and your mind begins to wander, inviting creativity after a long day of focused labor. The daylight, ever fading, counters the rise of inspiration within you and as the kettle begins its delicate call, you find the entry table to draw its legs forward, revealing its hidden feature – a table top that glides into position, expanding the working surface, like a plant sending out a new leaf. Onto its new form, you set a pen and notebook and go to quell the faint whistle of your kettle, returning to your sanctuary through steaming clouds of lavender and lemon.

Placing the hall chair at the helm, you sit and pen your first marks, anticipating discovery as you endeavor to capture the fleeting inspirations of your evolving thoughts. As the night grows deeper and your notebook fills, your body sends pleas for rest, and with a final sip of tea, your toiling mind resolves to close today. The pen finds its cap, the notebook its pocket, and you gently tuck the desk away. An entry table that became a desk, sleeps in its hidden form, awaiting your return another day.
