About the Item

Founded in the early 20th century in Italy, Olivetti is an iconic office equipment manufacturer that set new standards in industrial design. Beyond functionality, the company consistently pursued beauty and innovation, collaborating with some of the most visionary designers and architects of its time. Its groundbreaking products and advertising posters were not only tools for work—they were expressions of modern aesthetics. As a result, many of Olivetti’s creations are now preserved in the permanent collections of leading art and design institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. This particular desk is a superb example of Olivetti’s design legacy. Constructed from a refined mix of materials—steel, plastic, and other industrial elements—it reflects the company’s forward-thinking approach to blending technology with design. The desk’s minimalist silhouette and geometric lines evoke a mid-century modern sensibility, while clever features and modular components emphasize practicality and efficiency. It is a piece that doesn’t simply furnish a space—it defines it. Ideal for contemporary workspaces or vintage-inspired interiors, this desk stands as a testament to Olivetti’s ability to harmonize form and function in a way that still resonates today. Whether as a centerpiece in an office or a refined touch in a creative studio, it offers not just utility, but inspiration.
