Title: Dakota Jackson "Arabesque" Sculpted Sycamore Wood Writing Desk

Description: Dakota Jackson designed the "Arabesque" Wood Writing Desk, made from sculpted, polished Sycamore with an inset leather writing surface and leather drawer face. Veneered Sycamore legs and Polished Stainless Steel sabots. Arabesque brings a dual meaning, referring to a classical ballet position and also a spiraling, vine-like motif in Islamic art.. Dakota Jackson (born August 24, 1949) is an American furniture designer known for his eponymous furniture brand, Dakota Jackson, Inc., his early avant-garde works involving moving parts or hidden compartments, and his collaborations with the Steinway & Sons piano company. Jackson helped establish the art furniture movement in the 1970s SoHo, later becoming a celebrity designer in the 1980s. His background in the world of stage magic helped him get his first commissions and is often cited as the source of his point of view.
