The Orix desk by Vittorio Parigi & Nani Prina, designed for Molteni, is a striking example of the progressive design language of early 1970s Italian design. This eye-catching piece combines a molded ABS plastic body in high-gloss red with a glass work surface and a steel frame. The writing surface consists of a glass panel that can be opened to access the storage space beneath. A fold-down table lamp is integrated into the back. The base is detachable. Writing height: 76 cm.
Executed in vibrant red, the desk makes a strong visual statement and becomes the dominant element in the room. Despite the intense color, the clean lines and balanced proportions lend the piece a timeless elegance. The name Orix represents a rational, modular workspace that combines design with everyday practicality.
As an iconic piece of office furniture and a coveted collector's item, this desk embodies the innovative power of Molteni as well as the design consistency of Vittorio Parigi & Nani Prina – an object of high design-historical significance and distinctive character.
