Mid-Century Solid Imbuia Desk Designed by E.E. Meyer for Binnehuis

70’s Solid Imbuia Desks Designed by E.E. Meyer for Binnehuis. Circa 1970.

 

Double-sided desk with a very handy bookshelf at the back. It is beautifully crafted and designed, an absolutely exquisite piece. The wood grain and colour are beautifully active in light.

 

This is the last one of these exquisite desks in our collection, the most beautiful wood grain, we left the best one for last ;)  

A rare heirloom piece that will last a lifetime. Beautifully designed and made, a real collector’s piece and investment.

 

Owning an EE Meyer piece is owning a piece of history, South Africa's most sought-after mid-century furniture manufacturer.

As much as we love Scandinavian furniture, some of our mid-century South African pieces are just as beautiful.

The Binnehuis furniture stores were located in Cape Town and Somerset-West, and were owned by a Dutch businessman and his wife, Mr and Mrs van Ewijck, who moved between South Africa and the Netherlands. It seems they were most prolific during the 1960s
