Heart'n'Soul Desk - Obsidian Black

Our Obsidian Black finish gives this desk a deep, matt surface that settles quietly into a room and draws the eye without shouting. We chose this shade because it works as well in a bright study as it does in a darker corner, holding its own against pale walls or sitting comfortably alongside richer tones. The FENIX® nanolaminate top resists fingerprints and everyday marks, so the desk keeps its clean, even colour through daily use. We think a dark work surface helps you focus, keeping papers, screens and a warm lamp as the things you actually notice.

The form is straightforward and honest. This is a rectangular desk standing on four tapered legs, with two shallow drawers set under the front edge for pens, notebooks and the small clutter that collects on any working surface. At 120cm wide and 80cm deep, there is room for a laptop or monitor with space to write beside it, and the 75cm height suits a standard chair. It weighs 32kg, which gives it a steady, planted feel once in place, and we have kept assembly to around 30 minutes so you can have it ready in an afternoon. It does not extend; what you see is what you get, and we prefer that clarity.

This desk is made from solid wood with MDF and a steel structure, finished in the FENIX® nanolaminate that gives the top its soft, low-sheen colour. The timber is FSC™-certified, so we know where it comes from and can stand behind how it is sourced. To care for it, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the matt finish. For styling, we like it paired with a brass lamp and a single plant, letting the black surface do the grounding while a few warm accents lift the whole setting.
