The piece features a wooden frame with a pull-out writing surface upholstered in black leather and a built-in sliding shutter. The interior is organized with small drawers and storage compartments, while the front features ten drawers with recessed metal handles. Model 804 is designed as a convertible writing surface: opening the top simultaneously activates the shutter, revealing the internal work area. The structure rests on four wooden legs and is completed with glass shelves. The finished back allows it to be placed in the center of a room, thanks to four additional open storage spaces.

The dimensions of the piece are: 100 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and 79 cm high. The maximum depth, with the writing surface extended, is 106 cm. The seat height is 64 cm.
