In the store: Transforming desk

When my SIL saw this desk on Craigslist, he recognized it immediately as a Lovig desk and knew he had to have it. He talked with the seller, who said he was planning to raise the price on the piece but would let him have it for the lower price if he bought it right away. Naturally, my SIL hotfooted it right over and gave the man his money.

The design is attributed to either Jens Quistgaard or Paul Lovig Nielsen, depending on who is writing about the desk. No matter who designed it, this desk is the original Transformer. Look at the way it changes before your very eyes!

    1. Yes, my SIL just had it completely restored before he put it in the store. It's a showstopper.

    1. I had never seen one either, but my SIL recognized it, thank goodness.

    1. There's no doubt that it's one of our best Craigslist finds ever!
