The desk combines structural elegance with its slender, compass-inspired splayed legs and oiled solid wood top. Its compact dimensions provide functionality for contemporary workspaces, while the distinctive leg design adds visual interest. The solid wood surface offers durability and natural appeal, and the splayed base ensures stable support.
Jean Prouvé developed several versions of the Compas table around 1950, basing the design on the structural principles for which he is known.

The oiled solid wood table top gives Compas Direction an individual touch. With its compact dimensions, the desk is ideal for the contemporary, largely paperless home office
