Pierre Cardin desk
Located in Bruxelles, BE
One off a kind desk designed by famous couturier pierre Cardin at the end of the seventies.
This desk is well known and published in a lot of books and a version a little bit different was used by pierre Cardin himself in his bureau in the Espace Office in Paris.
One of these desk are part of the museum Pierre Cardin in Paris.
This is most probably a special command made for an French businessman alongside with the coffee table and the dresser and desk chair.
The desk is signed also the dresser .
A museum piece.
It’s in good condition but the black glossy surface shows some mark of time .
Best for me to sell all together.
This example is very close to the desk designed in 1971-1973 by Fransesco Bocola for Pierre Cardin’s office (see page 21 of P.C.E.)
