A name derived from its long lasting rose smell, rosewood has been revered through history for its pleasant smell and beautiful coloring. Considered one of Brazil’s finest woods since the beginning of its trade relations with Europe, rosewood was highly sought after, so much so that the tree is currently facing the threat of extinction. In the Oeben desk we can find rosewood in the interior portion of the desk’s compartments, creating a pleasant rose smell when opened. This was a strategic move of the furniture maker, who truly to the time to consider a full sensory experience between the object and its user.
