Vitra Courier Desk
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Ronan Bouroullec, 2025
Sculpture for the Home Office
In addition to his industrial design work, Ronan Bouroullec is an artist — producing intricate drawings in which he repeats intuitive sequences of lines by hand with a Japanese felt tip brush. The contours of Courier can be read as an expression of this artistic verve, but also testify to Bouroullec’s flair for form and composition and his technical expertise: the desk effortlessly combines wood and aluminium to create a distinctive yet unobtrusive whole.
Viewed from the side, the desk’s silhouette recalls a serif letterform — hence the name Courier, one of the best-known serif typefaces. It joins George Nelson’s Home Desk, Jean Prouvé’s Compas Direction, and Charles and Ray Eames’s EDU in an illustrious line of objects that are both desk and sculpture.
Available in two top finishes — Light Oak Veneer Oiled and Dark Oak Veneer with Protective Varnish — paired with a choice of three powder-coated base colours: Deep Black, Chalk, and Dark Bordeaux.
Specifications
- Dimensions — W120 × D72.5 × H89.5cm
- Top — Plywood with dark or natural oak veneer
- Base — Die-cast aluminium, powder-coated
- Wood origin — Oak (Quercus robur) from Western Europe and/or Poland
Pairs well with Vitra office chairs. Part of Vitra Home Office and Office Desks.
