Carved Ivory Writing Desk – Engineering Specification Overview
Engineering Logic
The engineering intent is to address Finish Crazing within this Carved Ivory Writing Desk typology.
This is achieved through the integration of the Multi-Stage Elastic Primer Stack, which operates by creating a flexible interface layer that absorbs the differential expansion of the timber substrate without transferring stress to the brittle lacquer topcoat.
Learn how we mitigate surface fracture risks in high-gloss furniture.
As a result, the risk of Finish Crazing is mitigated under Radiant Dry Heat.
Crucially, this structural redundancy is engineered into the surface matrix to limit degradation without primary reliance on periodic refinishing.
Carved Ivory Writing Desk – Aesthetic Structure
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour, the Carved Ivory Writing Desk maintains architectural discipline.
The complex floral carving along the apron creates a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, which typically accelerates moisture exchange; the engineering challenge lies in sealing these end-grain exposures perfectly to maintain the pristine continuity of the ivory lacquer against the expansive forces of the wood.

Project-Specific Interpretation
The engineering intent is to address Finish Crazing specifically for the Carved Ivory Writing Desk in an Urban Penthouse context.
This is achieved through the Multi-Stage Elastic Primer Stack, which operates by buffering the internal matrix against the aggressive humidity drops caused by HVAC systems.
As a result, the risk of Finish Crazing is mitigated under the influence of Radiant Dry Heat.
Construction & Material Behaviour
For this Carved Ivory Writing Desk, the selected Closed-Pore Beech Matrix is bonded to a core engineered specifically for commercial stability.
- Substrate Stack: The writing surface utilizes a cross-banded core to ensure absolute planarity, preventing the “telegraphing” of grain patterns through the high-gloss finish.
- Joinery: Reinforced dowel connections at the leg-to-apron junction, specifically calibrated to resist the leverage forces of the cabriole geometry.
- Finish System: A catalytic polyurethane lacquer system with added plasticisers to maintain flexibility over the carved relief.
- Carving Integrity: Relief zones are undercut to sharp definition before priming, ensuring the heavy lacquer does not blur the floral details.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No. This documentation defines an engineering framework. Final form, detailing, and tolerances are confirmed during the bespoke specification phase.
Q: Is this suitable for Urban Penthouse environments?
A: Yes. The system is specifically calibrated to counteract Finish Crazing forces common in climate-controlled spaces.
Q: Is the high-gloss surface resistant to writing pressure?
A: Yes. The topcoat is formulated with a high Shore D hardness rating to resist indentation from pens, though we recommend a blotting pad for prolonged use.
Q: Can dimensions be modified?
A: Yes. All frames are built to order, allowing for millimetre-perfect calibration.
