I don't think I've ever seen a desk as magnificent as the Monte Carlo Desk. Modeled after the Monte Carlo Casino, it actually features a replica right on its surface.
Custom made by the extraordinary industrial designer David Linley, the Monte Carlo Desk is currently being sold for $100,000. The main body is made out of American walnut, red leather. The mini building features six secret compartments and there are details throughout the desk that act as special references to the casino itself. This is definitely one piece of furniture that deserves its collectible status.
