Writing desk format
Close Writing Desk measures 180 × 55 × H75 cm. Its upper section combines an open shelf with two drawers.
Reversed finish schemes
Version A uses open-pore lacquered oak for the structure and glossy lacquer for the upper shelf. Version B reverses that relationship with a matt lacquered structure and an oak upper shelf.
Metal support
The base has a 40 × 40 mm square upright and a 40 × 8 mm cross-shaped member, with Hytrel glides at floor level.
Story
Storage within a slim desk
Rodolfo Dordoni's Close Writing Desk brings storage into a long, narrow surface. Minotti contains the open shelf and two drawers within the horizontal upper volume rather than a separate pedestal.

Two coordinated versions
The official sheet defines two finish schemes that exchange the materials assigned to the structure and upper shelf. Both sit on the same satin-finish metal support.
