Happy New Year, everyone! Hope this year will be better than last year!
The Art Deco desk in context.
My first 3D model for 2012 is an Art Deco-style desk. I’m hoping to complete an Art Deco-ish hotel room so I’m starting to create the parts.
The Art Deco desk, all by itself.
What’s a hotel room without a desk? I saw a photo on Flickr of the perfect Art Deco-style desk. It was veneered in rosewood, and its drawers and pulls had chrome plating for decoration. I modeled the desk you see here after it.

Yes, let’s study!
Being this old doesn’t mean we can now stop studying. Seems like the old brain here no longer has any sponge-like quality, though!

Toshio S – Looks real.

Takahiro Y – I have no idea how long it takes to creat a thing like this. I bet it takes longer than a click. Looking forward to your works! 明けましておめでとうございます!
Michael W – I need to show this to my daughter. She’s been playing with Google’s Sketchup for a while. She started off creating simple houses, then started playing more with odd shaped windows for her houses. A couple days ago she designed in it what she calls her personal crest in 3D.
Amazing work.
Jeff M – I’m so glad you made it +Beverly Claire Kaiya ! I’m glad you also include the pre-version..it looks and sounds so complex…
