Originally designed in 1949 by Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino, the Protractor Desk stands as a true modernist icon among writing desks. An exploration of the architectural elements that form its structure reveals the full brilliance of this modernist masterpiece.
A 15mm thick tempered glass plate rests on raised stainless steel support buttons, offering an elegant writing surface for the Protractor. Stainless steel bolt sleeves elevate the wooden beams above the slatted cube of 5 drawers. On the opposite side, a 15mm glass panel covers an open-faced pull-out drawer, providing complete transparency. Two steel rods extend from the boomerang beams to support the outer edge of the transparent drawer. This design marvel has been expertly replicated and finished with a stunning, lustrous shine.
