Cavour Writing Desk by Carlo Molino (Natural Oak) – Zanotta

Description

Inspired by years of research into the perfect structural shape, designed by Carlo Mollino in 1949 and Zanotta is now producing the piece, partially as a tribute to the great artist.

The Cavour CM writing desk by Zanotta embodies a stunning balance of the bold and the elegant. Exquisitely crafted from wood and glass, its unique expression creates a harmony between organic and clean lines, resulting in a breathtaking structure that forms the ultimate study space. True masterpieces, like Zanotta’s Cavour table, where the asymmetrical structure is balanced by the presence of a chest of drawers and a storage compartment that conclude the functional needs of a piece with such a bold profile. Ideally utilised in a home office or large open-plan space, the timeless design adapts flawlessly to a range of interiors; the perfect place to work, study or write.

The desk is as streamlined as the racing cars Mollino so admired. The frame is in solid natural oak wax-finished varnish. Extractable open tray and drawer element veneered in natural oak, wax-finished varnish, both covered with 0.8 cm thick extra-clear tempered plate glass, back-painted in black.1,2 cm thick, clear plate glass top matching the oak frame.
