Tenet Desk

SKU #Tenet_Desk_5280x

Overview

It's a piece that makes the space; an architectural feature that defines the room's purpose. The Tenet desk by Massimo Scolari is available in a choice of finishes. The surface and drawers are covered in leather, creating a pleasant visual and tactile contrast for an original workspace. The inspiration is conceptual and comes from the name Tenet; a palindrome, which reads the same backwards as forwards, like the design of the desk's heads, which can have two heads, one at each end, or one head and a chest of drawers at the other end. With the aim of providing a flexible, customizable piece of furniture, Massimo Scolari has designed a range of details and accessories: a chest of drawers, leather document wallets, a fold-down flap that provides an additional surface, a lectern, sockets and an induction charger for mobile phones. Manufactured by Giorgetti.
