About the Item

Franco Albini "T22" Desks for Poggi, wood, Italy, 1958, set of 2 Designed in 1958, the “T22” desks are among the rarest and most refined creations by Franco Albini for Poggi. Defined by sculptural wooden bases and organically contoured tops, these desks embody Albini’s pursuit of structural clarity combined with expressive freedom. Part of the renowned collaboration between Albini and Poggi—which also produced icons such as the “Luisa” chair (1955) and the “Rocking Chaise” (1956)—the “T22” reveals Albini’s architectural mindset: a perfect balance between modern rationalism and artisanal precision, where every joint and proportion carries both function and poetry. The tapered legs and central support echo Albini’s architectural explorations of the late 1950s, where essential structures gained a sense of lightness while preserving a monumental presence. As a pair, these desks underscore the rarity and collectible value of Albini’s work, standing as a manifesto of Italian design’s transition toward a more fluid and organic modernism—an approach later developed by figures such as Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Gianfranco Frattini.
