Carlo de Carli Desks and Writing Tables

Important and rare desk by Carlo de Carli of the 1950s. With this desk Carlo de Carli poses the problem of overcoming a strictly rationalist approach and tries to give new life to his furniture with new forms, provoked vital suggestions such as movement, speed. The realizations of De Carli in fact are very angular, sharp and dynamic, given also by a geometric balance. In fact the desk is a constant geometric game between balance and dynamism. The desk is made of an elegant solid wood, well worked and with superlative geometric games. We find a thick glass as a work surface. Just below the tabletop we notice two visible drop-down shelves for storing objects or books. Focal point, in addition to its elegant lines, we find its brass details, where trapezoidal shaped handles and brass tips as feet. The handles are placed in two small chests of drawers with drawers on the sides of the desk. We enclose publication. An object definitely for a few, from the great aesthetic taste, where only collectors can admire its beauty in total.
