Gents, I am due to graduate from law school next week (at goddamn last). My parents have resolved to buy me a desk for a graduation present, which I will initially use at home, but ultimately may move to work if/when I have my own chambers. They are keen for me to pick something that will last, as am I. This is, however, one area of furniture design in which my knowledge is woefully deficient. I'm very fond of midcentury modern (isn't everyone?). I detest the whole heavy chunky wooden green-topped lawyer cliches. I don't mind this kind of thing (Le Corbusier) but it's a little sterile: 
Same with this (Fritz Hansen for Monocle Magazine), and it's a dining table. And 3000 pounds(!): 
This said, I am really open to ideas. Let me know what you'd go for in my situation. For what it's worth, probably will go for a chair in this style, but again, open to suggestion: 
Cheers, FP
