Story
Subtle curves, strong lines
In Poliform's description the wood-framed top with its leather insert follows subtle curves, and these soften the strong lines of the painted metal structure.
Optional drawer and mirror
The small drawer under the top and the mirror are the optional accessories. Poliform calls them elegant and discreet and describes the desk as a complement for bedroom spaces.
