Mid-Century Modern Walnut Desk by Gio Ponti
About the Item
This walnut desk designed by Gio Ponti is of a very useful size and elegant design with the typical Gio Ponti leg shape, seen in many of his pieces. The bottom of the leg is flicked out so the desk does not appear bulky. The top is dark green crystal which makes the desk practical and very usable. The top of the drawers is covered with a matching dark green formica. Gio Ponti regularly used this dark green formica on his designs. The desk top is lightly curved which again makes the piece less bulky in form and makes it a sculptural piece. The drawer fronts are angled which makes the desk look interesting from the side. Both drawer areas can be locked.

The history of the company goes back to the early 1920s, when woodworker and upholsterer Gaetano Borsani founded Atelier Borsani Varedo (later called Arredamenti Borsani Varedo) in Varedo, Italy. In spite of Arredamenti Borsani’s traditional approach, Osvaldo, designed the modernist Casa Minima furniture collection, while still attending architecture school at Accademia di Brera, and he won the silver medal at the V Triennale di Milano in 1933. Osvaldo’s ongoing involvement at the atelier continued to grow as he designed and built modernist furniture for the wealthy Milanese society. In 1954, a year after Tecno’s founding, the company unveiled its first factory-produced collection of sofas, chairs and tables and received accolades at the X Triennale di Milano.
