Marine desks

The marine spirit is a style we're particularly fond of at Shogun. We love this furniture for its traditional lines and the "boat trip" feel it brings to any interior.

A distinctive material in marine-style furniture is the use of brass. Very popular in the nautical world, brass is the alloy of choice on board. Composed mainly of copper and zinc, it is highly resistant to corrosion, humidity and salt. So it's only natural that it should be used on our marine furniture, on handles, corners and all hardware.

Our marine desks are inspired by the desks used aboard ships, as well as by officer's desks and military campaigns. Their history dates back to the days when ships were places for sailors and officers to live and work. On board ships, officers' desks were essential furniture for managing documents, correspondence and ship's logs. They were designed to be compact and functional, optimizing the use of the limited space on board. These desks were often equipped with drawers, compartments and storage lockers to organize the papers and office supplies needed to manage maritime affairs. Marine-style offices were also present during military campaigns and naval expeditions. They served as temporary command posts and workplaces for officers who had to plan strategies, write reports and coordinate military operations. These desks were sturdy, transportable and designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in the field.

Our marine-style desks are highly appreciated for their classic charm, and are used as centerpieces that add a touch of character and recall sea travel, exploration and adventure. And if you fall under the spell of our marine desks, then the rest of the collection will charm you even more.
