The structure is crafted in maple wood with warm honey tones, built on two tall, tapered side frames that form an elegant A-shaped silhouette. These frames support a suspended central body with a flush-front drawer, softly rounded at the corners and slightly projecting forward like a small desk. Above, a clear glass top is fixed on discreet brass spacers, creating a light, floating effect and revealing the sophisticated joinery underneath.

At the back, a shaped panel upholstered in light green skai follows a wavy profile and visually anchors the console to the wall, adding both color and texture. A slim brass rod connects the legs at the front, underlining the linear geometry and contributing to stability. with its combination of sculptural lines, fine Italian craftsmanship and carefully balanced materials, this console works equally well as an entryway piece, writing table or decorative focal point in a mid-century or contemporary interior.
