About the Item

The compass desk was designed by Pedro Miralles Claver for Punt Mobles, circa 1990. He studies at the Domus Academy in Milan and worked with Philippe Stark in Paris.

Elevating work table with a rolling tray with storage space and a small removable box with dividers. Made of Cherry wood . Good condition. On the desk top there was a hole that has been restored with the same wood and can be seen in the next to las photo Dimension: H110cm W100cm D51cm D(desk)66cm Knee Hight 71cm Pedro Miralles Claver, Valencian architect and designer, with a brief career in which he managed to leave an extensive legacy, elegant and magnificent designs marked by his strong personality. Miralles is remembered as a man with a great intellectual depth, multifaceted, lover of reading, theatre, music and travel as creative methodology. These are aspects that are present in each one of his objects. An example of this is the desktop Compás, produced in 1990 by the Valencian company Punt Mobles, whose formal profile was the result of the connection of a desktop with the literature and its ability to create images. Thereby, Pedro got a sleek and sophisticated design, with clean and soft lines, but above all, a functional furniture. Compás was endowed with the ability to be integrated seamlessly into the everyday life of a home. His most creative point was the addition of a sliding shutter or “roll-top”, which when is lifted and raised the frontal layout, draw a circle on the side which grows, giving shape to a table to work on. Inside was added a drawer with different compartments, a place to store small items. In contrast, the closed desk keeps a balanced and symmetrical profile maintaining its elegance and simplicity while providing cleanliness and order in the room. Key words: Pedro Miralles, Com
