Bureau Ministre by Pierre Guariche for Meurop from the Bridge-Conseil Collection, 1960
€ 3.200
INCL. VAT ACCORDING TO THE MARGIN SCHEME (IF APPLICABLE)Bureau Ministre Pierre Guariche for Meurop is part of the Bridge–Conseil collection, dating from around 1962, featuring an exotic Formica top and a black metal frame – in very good condition.
This Bureau Ministre belongs to the Bridge–Conseil collection developed by Pierre Guariche during his tenure as artistic director at Meurop in the early 1960s. This professional line was created for modern workspaces and is characterised by its light construction and functional elegance. It represents the largest and most expensive version of the model, likely produced in small quantities. The combination of the warm Formica wood pattern and the slender black metal frame reflects the search for elegance within industrial production. The twin drawer units provide a balance between functionality and refined lines. Because Meurop exported less than companies such as Ahrend or Knoll, production numbers remained low, and the model was manufactured only from about 1962 to 1964. Many desks ended up in corporate interiors and were rarely preserved, making an original and well-kept example increasingly scarce.

The condition of this desk is very good and fully original. The Formica top shows light wear consistent with age and has no structural damage. The metal frame is sturdy and well preserved. All drawers open; the keys are no longer present.

MARGIN SCHEME, NORMAL VAT (B2B within the EU) AND EXPORT
All prices in our webshop are in euro's and VAT included (if applicable). By default we use the margin scheme, a special tax regulation for used goods. All prices are vat included, but there is no vat amount mentioned on the invoice. Outside Europe we use the same prices. To compensate, we don't charge additional payment- and handling costs.
Do you have a company with the right to deduct VAT? We can also create normal VAT-quotes and/of invoices. For companies within the Netherlands against 21% vat and for EU companies against 0% btw (an intra-Community supply requires a valid EU VAT-number). The normal vat-quote can be requested via de webshop or the contacttab.
For Dutch companies the total amount including vat will be higher, because we will have to calculate and charge vat on the total amount. The vat excluded amount will be lower and makes this opportunity interesting.
