Vitra welcomes the summer season with the Courier Desk, which is a seamless blend of function and form. Designed by renowned French designer Ronan Bouroullec, it is not just a standard work desk but more like a sculptural piece. Every line and curve reflects a thoughtful, uncompromising design approach. Compact, elegant, and versatile, the desk is ideal for both home and studio environments.
The French designer is also known for his intricate line drawings created with a Japanese felt-tip brush that inspired the desk’s design. Its shape reflects the artistic style and highlights his strong sense of form, composition, and technical expertise.
For this design, he embraced simplicity and reduced the desk to its most essential, intuitive form. It offers just enough surface space for a laptop, papers, and a screen or books. The refined, lightweight design allows the desk to seamlessly fit into a variety of environments.
The desk effortlessly combines wood and aluminum to create a distinctive and understated design. The lightness of the bent plywood contrasts beautifully with the strength and structure of the metal legs. Its two-tiered, curved plywood top is a unique feature rarely seen in desk design.

Inspired by the splayed, V-shaped legs of Jean Prouvé’s 1953 Compas Direction desk, the geometry of the Courier desk seeks harmony through smooth, balanced composition. When viewed from the side, its silhouette resembles the elegant curves of a serif typeface that also inspired its name, Courier.
The desk’s distinctive curvature is its defining feature, giving it a sculptural touch and a unique personality. Its simple elegance makes it a striking addition to any home or office setting. The Courier desk is currently available for $2,635 on Vitra’s official website.
