About the Item

The desk features Buffa’s signature blend of architectural form and refined craftsmanship. It showcases a sleek, rectangular top in a contrasting two-tone finish: natural wood flanks a central section in black, possibly leather or ebonized wood inlay. The body includes two open compartments instead of traditional drawers, contributing to the piece’s lightness and modernity. Its most striking elements are the sharply tapered V-shaped legs in warm walnut, joined by a central stretcher bar that adds visual balance and stability. The splayed feet and gently curved cutouts evoke Buffa’s elegant approach to proportion and structural rhythm. This desk is a classic example of Italian Modern design—functional yet sculptural, ideal for a stylish study.
