About the Item

Luciano Frigerio Presidential Writing Desk in Walnut, Italy 1960s This is a rare presidential mid-century desk designed by Luciano Frigerio for the "Norman" series, manufactured in Desio, Italy, in 1970. The desk is made of solid wood with an African walnut veneer and features an elegant design without sacrificing functionality. Luciano Frigerio, who loved playing the piano and creating unique furniture, combined his passions to develop the "Norman" series, which includes this desk with piano keys visible at the front. Frigerio's visits to prestigious artisans' studios, such as Canturine, where he met renowned Masters like Gio' Ponti, Franco Albini, Carlo De Carli, and Tapio Wirkkala, helped turn his small family business into a company that catered to the international market. The company's philosophy of creating unique and highly crafted pieces from cabinet makers and architects grew from the 70s to the 90s, opening ten showrooms in major Italian cities. Many parts of furniture designed by Luciano Frigerio are displayed in major Italian art galleries and abroad. The desk has been taken care of, but there may be some signs of use. If you're interested, we can restore it entirely for you. Also, we have two genuine chairs that you can check out in our other listings.
