About the Item

A rare Post-Modern secretaire designed by Peter Maly as part of the Serie 5 collection, dating to around 1975. This distinctive piece is crafted with a striking cork veneer, contrasted by sleek black framing, embodying the innovative materiality and geometric clarity that defined Maly’s work. The drop-front desk opens to reveal a functional writing surface and storage compartments, while the lower section offers three drawers for additional organization. Its compact yet sculptural form reflects the Post-Modern focus on both practicality and design experimentation. The warm, textured cork surface brings a tactile quality and visual depth, while the clean architectural lines provide a modernist balance. Highly collectible, this secretaire is an outstanding example of 1970s German design, combining functionality, craftsmanship, and avant-garde style. Dimension unfolded: 88cm A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior.
