Lectori Salutem is a true technical feat, where the rigidity of steel harmonizes with the fluidity of form, creating a perfect balance between futuristic aesthetics and craftsmanship. Comprising over 150 hand-assembled panels, our desk offers a fascinating view of its complex internal structure through its open side. In homage to his two partners and founders of the DeMakersVan studio, the artist also incorporates the profiles of his twin brother Joep Verhoeven and Judith de Graauw into his design.
