I've got no idea about the desk, but where is the kitty sticker 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 that's an old trestle desk from the 70s or 80s, I remember seeing this before, but I can't say who designed it.

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!

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.

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.

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.
