About the Item

Stylish and high quality executive office ensemble produced in 1976 by i4Mariani Italy, designed by architect Guido Faleschini and retailed in the USA through Pace Collection. The big-superbig office collection was so elegant looking and used the finest saddle leathers that to this day it is frequently although incorrectly attributed to Hermes. Presented here is the executive desk with cordovan saddle leather and black melamine with chrome embellishments together with a freestanding cabinet of three drawers which slides just under the desk on either the left or right side, is trimmed in chrome and cordovan saddle leather, a cordovan leather tilt-recline swivel executive chair as well as a black and cordovan saddle leather visitor chair. We are offering the desk, cabinet of drawers and two chairs as a suite. Dimensions provided are for desk alone. Please ask us for individual measurements.

  • 1968 Executive Desk
    By Warren Platner
    Located in Hanover, MA
    Executive desk formerly belonging to noted architect George M. Notter, (1933–2007) of the Boston firm Anderson Notter Finegold (now known as Finegold Alexander Architects). Current institutional memory at the firm suggests it was a special order from Herman Miller for the then new New York offices of MGM, however Herman Miller's archivist was unable to confirm. Styling, particularly the distinctive slim milled aluminum tracks through which the entire drawer carriage glides is clearly similar to Warren Platner's designs for Lehigh-Leopold which were then among the most costly of executive office furnishings. The bent flat bar chromed steel base with its distinctive pigeon toe splay is somewhat similar to a table base in Stow Davis' Electa Series, designed by Alexis Yermakov circa 1971. Walnut laminate top is very clean with no issues. One one corner edge shows a small separation. The only identifying markings are within the milled aluminum channel: G.P. F.I. 2 And the date Dec. 20, 1968. See image 18. Between the rectangular laminate top and the chrome base is a heavy blackened steel plate. Underneath the bent chrome pigeon toe feet are bars of a thick phenolic material which act as floor protector. We can have keys made to fit the two locking drawers. Tim Anderson...
