William Hands' design and production philosophy is embodied in the Emphasis collection, which features an architectural aesthetic, studied proportions, clearly defined linear forms, and exquisitely honed distinctive touches. Expertly selected and finished to the greatest possible standards, this piece is handcrafted from the finest, sustainable natural veneers and solid woods.
Emphasis is the result of a long conversation between design and development. An idea evolved out of the ever-present need for high-quality, considered executive workplace furniture from a British furniture manufacturer with an understated international appeal.
The importance of approachability and collaboration are both crucial, and Emphasis desks complement these ideas with their attractive open form and spacious working surfaces. Co-ordinating storage items provide a functional and beautiful backdrop for the main work and meeting area. Soft-close doors and drawers add to the refined impression, while horizontal grain directions on the front elevation lengthen the proportions of each piece.
A monotone palette of contrasting lacquer and glass pieces creates definition and a strong backdrop for the gorgeous, natural wood elements. Even in its most basic stand-alone version, hidden vertical cable management allows services to be fully hidden from view. Emphasis workstations come in two heights for modesty panels, as well as a variety of materials and finishes, allowing the user to customise the desk to their needs. Desks that are merely supplied with the cable beam, on the other hand, have a lighter aesthetic quality.
