The Trask XL is a new iteration of my mini-desk design, The Trask, and continues my endeavor to create the perfect desk. This new version blends design cues from the studio where I apprenticed along with the rear end of a 1976 Aspen R/T, which is one of my Father’s favorite cars. This desk is an homage to my roots. It is a nod to both the man who raised me, my Father, and the man who taught me how to build furniture, Monk.

John Steinbeck wrote a generational epic, titled East of Eden, chronicling the Trask Family through three generations, which denotes the possibility of moving beyond fatalism to take control over our decisions and have dominion over what kind of people we become. 

Coincidentally, my father, who proclaimed similar themes to me, grew up on Trask Avenue. The design and execution of this desk serves as a grateful nod to the family I come from, the book that helped bring me to where I am today, and those who will come after me. The Trask desks are built to last with a solid wood frame, and metal legs. The next few generations will be able to sit at Trask desks to read, create, and write the things that will change the generations to follow after them.
