Dezeen Showroom: wood, glass and lacquer merge to form the Brera25 desk, which American architecture firm Gensler has created for office furniture brand IOC Project Partners.

Brera25 features an L-shaped worktop and a series of inbuilt storage cupboards, designed specifically to suit executive and managerial offices.

The desk is crafted from a refined selection of materials, with the cupboards framed in light-hued wood while their doors, as well as sections of the countertop, are coated in white or black lacquer.

In contrast, one end of the desk is simply supported by a slim pane of glass.

A concealed electric mechanism allows part of Brera25's counter to be elevated so that users can alternate between working in a seated or standing position.

"Brera25 was designed to offer a clean design aesthetic, elegant details and unique materials to elevate private offices and open-plan environments," explained Mark Morton, Gensler's design director and principal.

"We wanted a modular office system that could adapt to custom configurations without sacrificing elegant proportions," added Jonas Gabbai, design director and senior associate at the firm. "Soft-touch materials give Brera25 a high-end residential look and feel."
