Hmm, that's a rather open ended question. Am I right in thinking from the examples you found interesting that you like stuff that gives the erroneous impression that it's somewhat unstable, i.e., one cantilevered Vertigo, and one Valentino pointy triangle apparently resting on something that looks as though it could roll away? And maybe you like dark woods such as walnut, maybe oak, or striking wood veneers such as zebrano, and maybe not so fond of pale woods such as ash or maple?
Just trying to confirm your apparent preferences here in order to limit the potential suggestions for something you'd find endlessly unattractive and uninspiring, which could be almost anything at the moment from the
pallet wood item currently showing in the General forum to an ornately marquetry covered, carved and gilt piece of serpentine fronted Louis quinze.
I've no particular suggestions even though I could come up with a few drawings of my own if someone set me a particular desk design challenge, ha ha. Slainte.
