Featuring a glass table top and steel tubular frame, the Albini Desk cuts as impressive a figure today as it did upon its introduction almost 100 years ago.
Completed with a two-drawer pedestal, and finished in ebonized oak, the Albini desk is an iconic piece of modernist furniture that will no doubt remain a perennial favourite of design connoisseurs for time to come.
After graduating in architecture at Milan Politecnico, Franco Albini worked simultaneously in fields of furniture, product design, architecture, urban planning and interior design. His sentiments as a rationalist architect translated into remarkably transparent furniture designs, which display a knowledgeable use of materials while presenting their internal structure and processes of production.
