albini desk
Design Franco Albini, 1958
Square steel tube, glass
Made by Knoll
Franco Albini's 1958 floating pedestal desk combines glass, chrome-plated steel and painted wood into a piece of striking clarity and balance. The desk's design demonstrates Albini's commitment to rigorous craftsmanship and elegance built on a minimalist aesthetic, unencumbered by extraneous ornamentation.
As one of the first Europeans commissioned to create furniture for Knoll, Franco Albini is often considered the most important of the Italian ?"Neo-Rationalist" designers. His work signaled a wave of furniture design that successfully combines the new forms of Modernism with a more traditional artisanship.
Drawers available with either ebonized oak or white lacquer with an open shelf in rear for magazines or small books.

Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that furniture should complement architectural space and not compete with it. Modernism is a passion at Knoll which results in ground breaking modern furniture.
