Model 530 writing desk designed by Gianfranco Frattini for Bernini in 1957, early production. This desk represents the starting point of the long and influential collaboration between Frattini and Bernini and stands as a key example of Italian modern design of the post-war period.
The design is defined by clean lines, balanced proportions, and a strong architectural presence. The desk is crafted in walnut veneer with a warm tone reminiscent of rosewood, giving it a refined and elegant appearance. The structure features two integrated side drawers and a central open compartment, combining functional clarity with understated sophistication. The sculptural legs and rigorous geometry reflect Frattini’s rational approach to design, where form and function are perfectly aligned.
Model 530 is appreciated for its timeless aesthetic and versatile use, making it suitable for home offices, professional spaces, and curated interiors focused on mid-century Italian design.
