About the Item

Keywords: Davenport, scrittoio mid-century, pelle, Cantù, Brianzolo, La Permanente Mobili, anni ’50, ruote, legno impiallacciato, Mid‑Century Davenport desk, leather top, Cantù, Italian writing desk, 1950s, rolling desk, veneer wood Scrittoio compatto tipo Davenport, tipico del design inglese ma qui reinterpretato in chiave moderna dagli artigiani brianzoli (ipotesi Cantù), risalente probabilmente agli anni ’50/’60. Struttura in legno massello e impiallacciatura scura, caratterizzata da un piano inclinato in vera pelle verde, ribaltabile per accedere ad ampi scomparti interni. Lato sinistro provvisto di un ripiano estraibile, lato destro dotato di cassetti, tutti maneggiati con eleganti maniglie integrate. Il corpo poggia su ruote originali in gomma, permettendo facilità di spostamento. Sia il piano estraibile che i cassetti, sono stati progettati perchè slittassero in entrambe le direzioni. Il design e la qualità richiamano i manufatti di La Permanente Mobili Cantù. Benchè non riporti firme visibili, la componente in pelle, i vani interni e le linee eleganti possono far pensare a questa produzione brianzola. Montaggio con componenti incassati e scocche laterali ricoperte di pelle suggeriscono certe tecniche di Cantù. La paternità non è dimostrata, ma l’analogia formale con modelli di scrivanie comparabili supporta l’ipotesi.
