Info. on a wood studio desk....

I'm looking for information on a studio desk that I saw in a magazine about 8 years ago or so. For the life of me I can't remember the name Rolling Eyes

- but I believe it began with a "P". It was an extremely unusual design - basically 4 or more wood 2"x 6" boards that went from the ground up at about 60 or 70 degree angle. 19" racks were built into these and your console would be on a shelf that was about halfway up. I think it was also made of redwood. If I remember it was of a Scandanavian design (no - not Ikea Smile

)

Anyone remember seeing anything like this?

I have no idea.. but then a lot of stuff like this is made for export only. The P thing does not help me out.

Reminds me of the "silent p in swimmingpool"

Cool

Thanks for the links seraph - I have already explored those. I'll probably wake in the middle of the night with the name. I only saw it once in the back of an audio magazine (I don't recall which one..but I think it had a studio furniture roundup in it) - a small black and white picture with a short description of it. I don't believe these were being exported - if they were I don't believe they were coming to the US - I'm sure that if they were we would have seen more about it as it was rather unique looking.
Man this is frustrating! Should have started taking Ginko years ago!

Honestly I am not sure if it's design would work for me or not but I just wanted to look at it and maybe adapt it. The Argosy consoles are real nice but out of my budget.

BTW - the AKA stuff is real sharp looking! I bet shipping it would cost a bit!

Carlo's ability to find unexpected associations on these topics is a wonderful thing.

This plant is loved by many cultures. It has a rich history, a grand association with the arts, and it's an herb that is said to enhance memory and intelligence. Certainly, the Bush administration will make this illegal too.
