The desk is well-crafted from premium materials and the distinctly postmodern design features clean, minimalist lines with a multi-tiered profile and a floating effect characteristic of Italian space age design of the period.

The desktop surface and drawer cases are made from lacquered rosewood in a rich, dark stain with black trim and supported by a sculptural brushed aluminum framework. The desk case is comprised of three locking drawer sets to each side, all with architectural metal pulls, and the desk includes a removable glass top. This strikingly unique desk is both aesthetic and functional — a true showpiece for residential or professional setting.
