Marcel Breuer’s work often fused modernist clarity with architectural precision - very much along the Bauhaus principles. . This large “Canaan” desk, produced by Gavina in the 1960s, is a strong example of that balance—designed with both utility and proportion in mind.
The name “Canaan” is believed to have been chosen by Dino Gavina, the Italian design visionary who produced Breuer's furniture in the post-war period.
Design
The piece measures 180 cm in length, offering a generous workspace. Its structure is defined by two suspended volumes, each housing storage on either side of the seated position. On the left, a combination of drawers and a larger compartment creates practical functionality. On the right, three drawers are stacked in a clean vertical rhythm. The wood veneer reveals a subtle, linear grain, while the squared form and open leg space create a visual lightness. The crossbars provide both stability and architectural balance. Every element reflects Breuer’s approach to designing furniture that feels integrated and disciplined.
Condition
The desk has been fully restored. Veneer surfaces are clean and uniform, and all drawers function smoothly. Only minimal signs of age remain, consistent with careful restoration.

I recently bought some amazing Artwork from AtKris Studio online. The whole experience was amazing. The transaction was amazingly efficient. The crating and shipping of the artwork to the United States from the Netherlands could not have gone smoother and the customer service was spot on!! Krista was amazing and I highly recommend AtKris Studio!
This bar is amazing. Beautiful and exactly as described. A custom crate (which was a work of art itself) was built in order to ship the piece to the U.S. The bar arrived in perfect condition without a scratch. I will say that take the crate apart was not easy and was a two-person job. But worth it in the end
Table arrived very well crated, seller made process seamless.
