About This Piece

Vintage Design

This wonderful typewriter table comes from the second office furniture program, which was designed by Studio BBPR for Olivetti. Arco - the arch - is the basis of the design, the static element was shaped decoratively and shapes the architecture of the desk. It is remarkably well preserved, all fasteners are in place, the drawers running on rails move easily.

Lacquered steel, PAG wood panel, plastic fronts, adjustable feet, drawers on slide rails, no lock
