Gianfranco Frattini Writing Desk in Walnut, Italy, 1960s

Creator: Gianfranco Frattini
Offered by: MA+39

Description
Designed by Gianfranco Frattini in the 1960s, this Italian writing desk exemplifies his refined modernist vision. Crafted in walnut with a beautifully figured grain, the desk features a raised back section with a sliding tambour door and open compartments for organization. The wide writing surface is complemented by two slim drawers with circular pulls and a central open shelf, balancing practicality with understated elegance. Resting on Frattini’s signature angular trestle-style legs, joined by a horizontal stretcher, the piece reflects both architectural rigor and functional grace. Compact yet commanding, this desk is a timeless example of Frattini’s ability to harmonize modern design with craftsmanship, ideal for study or living spaces.
