The desk is part of the 7800-series or ‘Kleurodesk’, where for the first time in the company’s history vibrant colors are used on sheet-steel furniture. The desk was available with drawers in the colors white, blue, red, yellow, and with top in the colors black, grey and green. The rounded anodised aluminum handles were replaced in 1962 by flat handles with a T-shaped profile.”  –text: Stichting Gispen Collectie; translation: NLD
