An extraordinary and historically significant Rationalist desk, designed by the renowned architect Gherardo Bosio in 1934. This piece was specifically conceived for the interiors of Casa T. in Florence, a project that stands as a pinnacle of Bosio’s residential architecture. The desk is a masterclass in "Architectural Cabinetmaking," defined by a striking interplay of dual wood essences. Bosio utilizes the rhythmic alternation between a deep, dark-toned solid macassar ebony wood structure and lighter, highly figured inlay walnut burl panels . This contrast is intentionally used to create visual movement and to highlight the desk's geometric volumes. The high-gloss polished finish enhances the chromatic tension between the two woods, transforming the functional surface into a dynamic composition of light and shadow. The historical importance of this desk is further cemented by its publication in the prestigious architectural magazine Domus in October 1934, edited by Gio Ponti, where it was celebrated for its balanced proportions and refined material palette. Literature: Domus, October 1934, Milan.
