Donkey Desk - Black MATURIN

About the Item

The Maturin donkey, emblematic of labor in rural settings, retains its traditional role while taking on a distinctly contemporary dimension in this design. Serving as a unique secretary, Maturin is equipped with luminous LEDs and powered by an electric flange. Resolute and enigmatic like its real-life counterparts, Maturin conceals sliding storage and secret drawers for correspondence and pending files. After hours, Maturin closes akin to antique secretaries with a meticulously crafted mobile screen that conceals its functional space. This graceful piece of furniture reveals subtle patterns of backlit light, crossing its surface. Sometimes servile, sometimes fierce, this tribe of unconventional furniture tames animal forms to imbue them with distinctly human functionality. A unique addition to any space, the members of the "Mobilier de Compagnie" collection showcase technical prowess combined with inspired design.
