About the Item

Wonderful Italian Rationalist Writing Desk from the 1940s This beautiful writing desk from the 1940s is a superb example of Italian Rationalist design. Showcasing the movement’s signature blend of functionality and elegant simplicity, the desk features its original green linoleum surface, which gracefully wraps around the top and sides, creating a seamless, architectural look. The body is crafted from green-lacquered wood and is accented with elm wood trim on both the front and back, following the desk’s distinctive curved silhouette. This thoughtful combination of materials adds warmth and texture to its modernist form. The desk remains in completely original condition—perfectly preserved and ready for immediate use. With its sculptural presence and historical significance, this piece is ideal for collectors of 20th-century Italian design or anyone seeking a unique and functional statement piece. A rare opportunity to own an authentic example of Rationalist craftsmanship from postwar Italy.
