Compact yet stylish. The Gander Desk from Gus Modern has a minimalist style that is the perfect fit for either a small office or a corner or nook in a modest urban apartment. Located at the back of the desktop sit two storage compartments with magnetized lids where you can store pencils, pens, or markers, and underneath the desk is a drawer that can hold legal pads or a calculator. The powder-coated steel legs and bent-metal perimeter detailing both feature a white finish that beautifully contrasts the warm woodgrain top. Its simple design lets it work wonderfully in a variety of settings, from extravagant to spartan.

Mid-century modern design interpreted with an industrial edge. Such is the modis operandi of Gus* Modern. Every accessory, sofa, sectional, chair and table they design is inspired by simple forms and honest materials. The resulting modern furniture pieces are clean, elegant and versatile, with crisply tailored upholstery and solid, eco-friendly FSC-certified wood frames. Founded in 2000, Gus* Modern is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
