Item description

Elegant and measured, this desk designed by Derk Jan de Vries for Maisa Di Seveso is part of the rare and refined "Samara" series, an Italian collection of the 70s which today is considered a reference point in organic and functionalist design of the second half of the twentieth century. The desk is distinguished by the harmonious purity of its lines, the result of a project that combines the essentiality of Dutch modernism with love for natural materials typical of Italian artisan production. Entirely made of solid ash, it is characterized by the wise use of the veins of the wood as a decorative element and its rounded shapes, which soften the monolithic structure and enhance its tactility. The full sides are grafted continuously on the upper floor, drawing a fluid and compact silhouette, without barrels. The front is marked by two side drawers with iconic circular holes instead of handles - distinctive detail of the series - and from a central open compartment, useful for storing books, objects or desk materials. Each element is designed to be functional, but also visually balanced, with extreme care for the proportion and balance between full and empty. The "Samara" series, produced on a small scale and today increasingly difficult to find, represents an example of cultured and meditated design, capable of dialogue perfectly with modernist, Japan or Wabi-Sabi-style interiors. This desk is not only a piece of furniture, but a discreet and refined presence, ideal for those looking for an authentic piece, outside the fashions, which combines aesthetic and function with consistency and lightness.
