51-FI, Cavour Desk, Inspired by Carlo Mollino
Originally designed by Carlo Mollino in 1949, the Cavour Desk is a striking expression of the architect's distinctive approach to modern design. Its sculptural, dynamic form appears to extend almost infinitely, balancing an organic wooden structure against the precise geometry of its drawer unit.
Dimensions
Overall: 47.25"W × 23.5"D × 28.75"H
The desk's fluid silhouette is defined by two elegantly curved supports that create a sense of movement and visual lightness, while the contrasting drawer and concealed compartment introduce a deliberate architectural tension. The result is a remarkable balance between organic form, geometric precision and structural ingenuity.
Our interpretation draws from Mollino's original design, combining sculptural character with the functionality of a contemporary workspace. The desk is available in natural oak or walnut finishes, with selected elements finished in high-gloss black for a refined contrast.
An architect, designer and visionary from Turin, Carlo Mollino developed a highly personal design language that resisted convention. His work moved freely between architecture, furniture, engineering and art, resulting in some of the most distinctive and forward-looking designs of the twentieth century. The Cavour Desk remains a powerful expression of his enduring influence.
