Desks have become highly sought-after recently. With the rise of smart working, many home spaces are being redesigned to include a study area. In any study, the central element is the desk. Office desks must be chosen carefully, as a lot of time is spent at them. They should be comfortable and able to accommodate your computer and documents. If you have a large space, a Desk with Shelf is recommended. If instead you’ve had to carve out a small corner of a room for your study, a Small Desk is preferable. Of course, desks can also be used in other rooms for different purposes — for example, drawing. If you're a drawing enthusiast, you might use a Large Desk to hold your board and all your colors, or choose a Desk with Drawers to store your art supplies. Find the Perfect Desk to express all your creativity. They can also be used as Children’s Desks, encouraging your kids to study, draw, or read. You can also create a cozy atmosphere by adding a table lamp to make everyone feel at ease. In our catalogue you’ll find many models of Antique, Mid-Century, and Designer Desks, ready to meet your needs. Don’t forget that all desks in our catalogue are also available for rental.

Antique Desks

Antique desks originated to meet the need for reading and studying ancient manuals. Various types of Desks with Shelves were created specifically for this purpose, often designed according to their destination, whether small rooms like bedrooms or larger study spaces that could also host guests. Antique desks were standard furniture in studies and private libraries. They were also often used as prestige pieces, placed in reception rooms. Antique desks came in various sizes depending on their intended use. In libraries, larger desks were used to facilitate reading and study. They often featured drawers of different sizes to organize letters and documents. You can find both Center Desks and Wall Desks. The former were usually placed in central corridors lined with bookshelves, while the latter were only finished on the front and sides. Like all furniture, antique desks reflected the style of their era, and thus various models exist. In our catalogue you can choose from:

  • - Desks with Drawers
  • - Directory Desks
  • - Open Desks
  • - Neoclassical Desks
  • - Style Desks
  • - Baroque Desks

...and many more. Visit us in our stores to discover our full antique collection! Don’t forget we also offer a Restoration Service. Our strength lies in having the workshop right next to the store. So, in addition to benefiting from the experience of our expert restorers, you’ll also save on transport. You can ask for advice on the best treatment for your new desk or request specific work. Don’t wait — choose from dozens of unique pieces!

Mid-Century Desks

Over time, desks have become increasingly important. In most jobs, computers have become essential — and as a result, desks are indispensable in all offices. Modern desks are true workstations, which is why Desks with Drawers are especially useful for organizing documents and supplies. Mid-century desks differ greatly from antique ones: they feature simple lines and innovative materials. That’s because starting in the 1950s, new materials were experimented with — cheaper and easier to process than wood. From the 1940s, the desk became a true design element that helped define elegant, stylish interiors. Designers also experimented with desks. Among the most famous models are: the Cavour by Carlo Mollino, T96 by Osvaldo Borsani, Arco by BBPR for Olivetti, the Boomerang Desk by Maurice Calka, and many more. In our catalogue you can choose from:

  • - Desks from the 1940s
  • - Desks from the 1950s
  • - Desks from the 1960s
  • - Desks from the 1970s
  • - Designer Desks
