1940’s Writing Bureau from Out of the Dark
In need of somewhere to file your household paperwork? Forget filing cabinets and invest in this upcycled 1940's Writing Bureau from Out of the Dark.
Out of the Dark is a social enterprise project which works with disadvantaged young people to revitalise donated second-hand furniture, giving them the opportunity to learn both practical and project management skills.
The writing bureau has been given a new lease of life with a coat of black paint and contrasting handles on the drawers. It measures 75cm (l) x 43cm (w) x 106cm (h) so would fit a narrow alcove.
The bureau costs £400 and is available from bouf.com here.

Some of their best loved patterns are now being revived on bedlinens.
