A new design from AE Living, Glace reimagines the conventional desk through an unexpected play of balance and form. Founded by Ankit Jain and Virender Sharma, the brand continues to push the boundaries of luxury furniture design in India, creating pieces that merge modern workspace functionality with sculptural, design-led aesthetics.
At first glance, what sets Glace apart is its unusual composition. The desk resists symmetry, instead embracing an offset structure where a cantilevered work surface appears to float outward, anchored only by a secondary storage pillar. This deliberate imbalance creates a subtle tension—an interplay of weight and suspension that defines its identity, positioning it as a standout in innovative furniture design and contemporary desk concepts.
The design is rooted in precision. Every angle and junction is carefully calculated at the drafting stage, ensuring structural stability while maintaining visual lightness. This approach allows the solid timber construction to feel almost weightless—an expression of precision engineering in modern furniture design and a key characteristic of high-end office furniture in India.
Materiality further enhances this duality. The exterior, finished in high-gloss PU (N459), offers a sleek, reflective surface that sharpens the desk’s geometry and elevates its presence within luxury interiors and modern home office setups. Light interacts with the surface, creating a dynamic visual effect that aligns with evolving interior design trends in India.
Inside, the drawers introduce contrast through hand-fitted suede lining, adding a tactile softness to the structured exterior. A handle-less system maintains clean, uninterrupted surfaces, reinforcing the desk’s alignment with minimalist furniture design trends and contemporary interior styling.
Produced entirely in-house—from CAD development to final finishing—Glace reflects AE Living’s commitment to bespoke furniture craftsmanship, premium materials, and advanced manufacturing in India. It is more than a desk; it is a refined solution for those seeking designer office furniture that balances function with form.
With Glace, the idea of workspace furniture evolves into something more expressive—an intersection of design innovation, functional art, and modern Indian furniture aesthetics, where balance becomes the defining feature.
