About the Item

This striking postmodern writing desk exemplifies the bold aesthetics of the Memphis design movement. The desk features an asymmetrical green laminated wood surface supported by a black steel structure with shelves, creating a dynamic and geometric silhouette. Its minimalist yet playful design reflects the era's avant-garde approach to form and function. This piece is not only a functional workspace but also a statement piece that adds artistic flair to any interior setting. Some light traces of use to be noted on top, otherwise in good condition.
