About the Item

Every aspect of this Italian design captures the meticulous craftsmanship and the innovation that the BBPR Studio is celebrated for.

This exclusive blend of styles is what makes it a real museum piece, an object of art that goes beyond its function as a piece of furniture. The extraordinary proportions of the desk speak of a detailed planning and execution. It is not just about aesthetics; the design is also about creating a piece that offers practicality. Hence, this desk is not only a collectable item but also a functional piece for the modern household. It's not just the rarity that places this piece as an ideal investment; it's also the enduring beauty and timeless design. It's a piece that will continue to appreciate with time, making it a perfect luxury furniture collectable. The desk with its unique attributes and unparalleled design is more than just a piece of furniture. It reflects the history of design, the art of craftsmanship, and an intellectual taste that transcends boundaries. It's undoubtedly an excellent acquisition for any furniture enthusiast or collector. The writing desk, painstakingly crafted from quality walnut, brass, and panels of wicker, boasts a long history of careful maintenance. The dual-toned wicker, initially colored with brownish aniline, has evolved beautifully over time, responding to the subtle influences of sunlight and aging, resulting in a charming alteration of color. The preservation of the piece focused on refreshing rather than changing, ensuring the original patina was retained as much as possible. This piece tells a clear story of respect for the craftsmanship, a commitment to preservation, and an appreciation for the natural aging process documents and photos of the desk documents are online on iuav archivies of university of venice
