Description
This T95 desk is a remarkable creation by the renowned designer Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Italy. Conceived in the 1956 and crafted towards the latter years of the same decade, this desk stands as a testament to the era's innovative and sleek aesthetic. Immaculately restored and finished, its allure is heightened by a refined and elegant sheen that accentuates the desk's exquisite craftsmanship.

With functionality at its core, the T95 desk boasts a thoughtful design that caters to practical needs while embodying a sophisticated style. Its practicality is underscored by the inclusion of two meticulously crafted chests of drawers, providing ample storage space for essential documents and office supplies. The right side of the desk features an articulating storage cabinet that not only adds to the desk's organizational capacity with three spacious drawers but also incorporates a large window, infusing the piece with a sense of openness and airiness.

Furthermore, the desk's left side presents an additional return cabinet that not only adds to the desk's workspace but also offers the unique ability to rotate 180 degrees, enhancing the desk's versatility and adaptability to varying spatial configurations. The chromed steel structure, with its distinctive tripod feet, not only ensures a sturdy and reliable foundation but also adds a touch of modernistic charm to the desk's overall design.

Bearing the distinct imprint of Tecno's design philosophy from the 1950s, this desk is a striking representation of the era's commitment to functional yet aesthetically appealing furniture. With its seamless blend of practicality, elegance, and contemporary sensibilities, the T95 desk epitomizes the timeless allure of mid-century design.
