Description
Overview
Massimo Scolari designed the Tenet executive writing desk for Giorgetti in ash wood. Saddle leather covers the top and the drawers, and the metal parts have a bronze-coloured paint.
Construction
It comes in two versions, with two counterposed heads or with one head and one chest of drawers, with the chest at either side. The lateral part has a door with a document holder in saddle leather and a flap door with storage compartments that can also be used as a shelf. Four ash finishes are offered.
Specifications
- 74 cm high, the height printed for every version on the sheet
Story
A palindrome
The name Tenet is a palindrome, the same read backwards and forwards, like the design of the desk's heads.
Versions of the desk
Beside the two main versions, a version with a worktop at either side has a chest of drawers on two revolving castors that can be moved under the desk. The version with two counterposed heads is also available in a curved shape with a modesty panel.
