Folding desk 'Platone' by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, 1970s

Vintage desk designed by Giancarlo Piretti in 1971 and manufactured by Anonima Castelli. This piece of furniture is made of chrome-plated metal with a dark brown ABS plastic worktop. Its clever design allows it to be folded away in a flash, a real advantage in smaller living spaces. The desk is in beautiful vintage condition with some minor scratches typical of its age. The manufacturer's stamp is visible on the bottom. This design classic was included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York.
