Vintage Olivetti Synthesis Desk - Italian Industrial Design, 1970s

Seize the opportunity to acquire a true piece of design history. This vintage Olivetti Synthesis desk was designed by the renowned designer Ettore Sottsass, an iconic figure in postmodern design and founder of the Memphis group. It is the perfect blend of Italian industrial aesthetics and functionality. Designed by Ettore Sottsass for Olivetti Synthesis. Authenticity label "Olivetti Synthesis - Made in Italy" present under the top. A large beige work surface elegantly contrasts with a chocolate brown drawer unit, a typical colour combination of Sottsass's work at that time. Functional Storage: A suspended unit with 6 drawers featuring integrated handles. The back of the drawers has a distinctive circular opening for cable management. Heavy metal T-shaped legs provide perfect stability and a bold industrial look. The piece is in its original condition, reflecting its authenticity. There are normal signs of use (some scratches on the paint, original yellow foam under the top, and a plastic cover on the leg is missing — see photos). It remains extremely sturdy and functional. Much more than just an office piece, it is a collectible that is increasing in value. Ideal for enthusiasts of 20th-century design, Olivetti collectors, or to add a unique retro-chic touch to a contemporary interior. Materials: Metal and melamine top.
