About the Item

Iconic an extremely rare postmodern piece and one of the only Memphis Group productions whose design was commissioned from an outside firm.

USA/Italy, 1984, lacquered wood 29½ H × 96 W × 56 D in (75 × 244 × 142 cm) This unbelievable desk captivates with its free form, the contrast of the triangular substructure columns and the almost fluid-looking lacquer. It can be used from any side. It comes from a private Memphis collection in Berlin and is in very very nice condition. Get an impression from the photos, the swings and details are simply a dream!

"happiness comes from correctness.“, by Angelo Mangiarotti, architect, designer and professor, born in Milan in 1921. Perhaps because as a visiting professor in Chicago in the mid-1950s he met not only Frank Lloyd Wright, but also Walter Gropius and Mies Van der Rohe. But maybe it just describes his profound architectural understanding of construction and materiality that always influenced his design.
