The 'Arco' desk is a masterpiece of Italian industrial design, created in 1963 by the legendary architectural partnership BBPR (Banfi, Belgiojoso, Peressutti, Rogers) for Olivetti. This desk is defined by its architectural elegance and structural clarity. The black-lacquered metal frame features a high-quality iron core and is equipped with the signature adjustable feet, designed to ensure stability and precision. The top is made of polycarbonate with a wood-effect finish, a material choice that perfectly encapsulates the 1960s' fascination with innovative synthetic surfaces that could emulate the warmth of natural materials while offering superior durability. The 'Arco' series is celebrated for its ability to bring architectural dignity to the workplace, reflecting the enlightened corporate culture of Adriano Olivetti. It remains one of the most sought-after examples of 1960s professional furniture, prized for its clean lines and timeless modernist silhouette.
