Large "ARCO" desk for Olivetti by BBPR

Desk model "arco" designed in 1963 by studio bbpr for olivetti arredamenti. Bbpr was a partnership set up in milan in 1932 and bringing together the architects gianlugi banfi, lodovico barbiano di belgiojoso, enrico peressutti and ernesto nathan rogers. The metal base unscrews. It supports a writing surface and two drawer units opening with three drawers. The top of this vintage desk is made of bakelite, a plastic material used in the first half of the 20th century for its insulating and heat-resistant properties. Marked under the top and under the feet: "olivetti arredamenti metallici". Numbered 62/182. This antique desk with a vintage style and industrial look is a classic of 60s design. We also have a small occasional desk.
