Re: Finding an L Shaped Desk in Zürich
Tom is right; it can be difficult to find good quality wood furniture of the type many of us loved back home. There is a different sense of style here.
That said, have you considered having a piece custom made? Although numbers are dwindling as times and tastes change, there are still many good furniture makers - Möbelschreiner - throughout Switzerland.
I've had several pieces made here because I could not find what I wanted in stores. I've been pleased not only with the outstanding quality of the work but also with the price. Obviously custom made wood furniture will be higher priced than Ikea or Micasa... but for the quality a good value.
Unfortunately the furniture maker I used retired some years ago, so I cant give you a recommendation. However, just start looking around your area for a Möbelschreiner. You might try smaller towns or villages first. Visit his or her workshop, see for yourself the quality of the work, discuss what styles are his or her strength, etc.
You can also find very good wood pieces at Antik Brockis, although the L style desk is a modern thing and really not European, so your chances of finding something at a Brocki are likely pretty low. But if you are open to other styles of wood furniture worth a look.
(Along those lines the Holzwurm Sanitorium in Benken SG is a treasure for fans of anique wood furniture.)
Good luck with the search.
