American novelist Stephen King has hired a North Vancouver furniture
designer to make a writing desk for his Florida home.

The desk, which cost $40,000 Cdn., is the most prestigious sale yet
for Peter Pierobon, who has been showing his work at art galleries in
the U.S.

The desk is made from sapele, a reddish-brown mahogany-like wood from
Africa. It has two secret drawers and a mysterious line of raised
script on its black leather surface.

King, who is famous for his thrillers and horror stories, wanted the
phrase "All Things Serve the Beam," written in Gregg shorthand on the
desk top.

"I have no idea what that means," says Pierobon, who often uses
language-based decoration in his work as a way to communicate with
whoever uses the piece. "I have never spoken directly to Stephen
King. This has all been done through various middlemen on the
Internet."

King commissioned the piece after viewing Pierobon's designs at
www.johnelder.com, the Web site for the John Elder Gallery in New
York.

Bev Vincent reported the following about King's selection of the
order of the stories in the book:

King said: "What I did was take all the spades out of a deck of cards
plus a joker. Ace to King = 1-13. Joker = 14. I shuffled the cards
and dealt them. The order in which they came out became the order of
the stories, based on their position in the list my publisher sent
me. And it actually created a very nice balance between the literary
stories and the all-out screamers. Next collection: selected by
Tarot."
