About the Item

Writing table, walnut, iron, Italy, 1950s Both visually and structurally remarkable, this exceptional piece of office furniture exemplifies the pinnacle of Italian mid-century modern design. It embodies the period's philosophy of structural integrity inspired by architectural forms, showcasing thoughtful composition and craftsmanship. The design revolves around the principle that a decoration is subordinate to the constructive element, focusing on the essential composition of geometric forms and usage of materials. The substantial body features a symmetrical layout with clear-lined frames and linear elements. The interconnected cross-shaped base takes center stage, complemented by a thick top that appears to float above the base - a design feature that enhances its sense of space. The iron tube positioned between the two sides serves as a footrest while also enhancing the structural solidity of the table. With drawer compartments on both sides, the desk offers ample storage for stationery and other essentials. The skilled artisan's handiwork is evident in the intriguing interplay of volumes and structural aspects, culminating in a perfect freestanding desk. Kindly note that the piece is in good, pre-owned condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
