Story

Nature and design

The H_O desk brings new material balances and a luxury that is never ostentatious. Its focus is the natural beauty of leather, stone and wood, and harmonious proportions between the elements.

Slats and joints

The upper part of the surface shows joints that reveal the craftsmanship of the horizontal slats. Longitudinal grout lines on the desktop and on the sides of the drawer unit give a slat-like look.
