Post-Modern writing desk by Saporiti design Franco Corradini 1980s

Distinguish your workspace or living area with a piece of furniture that tells your story. This 1980s writing desk, produced by the prestigious Saporiti and attributed to Franco Corradini, is a masterclass in Post-Modern geometry. It perfectly captures the bold, playful, yet sophisticated spirit of the Memphis era, blending architectural forms with high-contrast color theory. The desk is built upon a radical asymmetric foundation featuring a heavy polygonal base in lead-grey lacquered metal. This is balanced by a striking double cylindrical front leg in vibrant Ferrari-red lacquered metal, which echoes the red structural inserts connecting the base to the top. The work surface itself is a stunning sail-shaped top with beveled edges, finished in a high-gloss white lacquer that provides a luminous, expansive area for creativity. We have performed a comprehensive conservative restoration on this exceptional piece to ensure it meets modern standards while respecting its historical soul. The white gloss top and the lead-grey/red metal components have been professionally revitalized and polished. Solid, stable, and ready to serve as the functional focal point of a contemporary office or studio. Authenticity: Every component is original, showcasing the high-production quality that defined Saporiti's 1980s catalog. Maintenance: Preserving the High-Gloss Finish. To maintain the vibrant contrast and reflective surfaces of this desk, simple but specific care is required. Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth to avoid surface micro-scratches. For the white lacquered top, use a clean cloth slightly dampened with water and a pH-neutral detergent if necessary, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid any abrasive sponges or chemical solvents that could dull the glossy finish. W.205 / H.75 / D.85 (cm).
