I've got no idea about the desk, but where is the kitty sticker from?
You spoke my mind, Sparkiy!! Where did that cat come from?
Exactly! Anyone know where that kitty comes from?
The chair is the eiffel base on a shell chair. Available from modernica. The table's legs match that style, kind of, but not really.
Alas, I can't find any eiffel-style table legs.
Ok the cat can come from a roll of red, or any color you chose, contact paper, an exacto, and some creativity. As for the desk, I will identify it as awesome.
Ikea has a similar desk leg, Vika Nykil, but it's not quite as stylish. The Ikea Vika Lindved has the same airy characteristic but without the crossbars.
looks a lot like the trestle leg desk or multi table.
I think I've seen the kitty decal on Etsy....
I think that's an old trestle desk from the 70s or 80s, I remember seeing this before, but I can't say who designed it.
Here's the kitty: I knew I'd seen it somewhere...

i bet this guy could re-create the legs, and either you could have a top made locally, or he offers desk tops. found him right here, on apt therapy!
Finally, a truly allergy friendly cat!

Those saw-horse types of legs look cool, but can really get in the way. They're transparent, but really take up a lot of floor space. After quite a few toe stubs and shin bangs, I'm of the opinion that legs should be minimal and unobtrusive.
The link to the cat decal by Elly Nelly is at the bottom of the post.
I own both these tables

from Magis and the legs are very similar (these are even more stylish). I know that you can buy the legs seperatley.Hope this will help ya.
Here's the Cat sticker on Supermarket:

And when I searched for "cat" I found other good stuff!

I think there's a lesson here for us all.
Don't put cats on your post if you have a question about something else?
Or even shadows of cats.
The owner of the desk describes how it was made here.
