Both essential and sophisticated design characterize Saffo, the modern writing desk designed by Carlo Ballabio. The supporting structure, entirely made of solid Canaletta walnut – available in natural, Moka or Wengé stained finish, as well as in the matt lacquered version in the colours of the collection – is distinguished by the same linear shapes that characterize the elements of the Ziggy line, to which they perfectly match.
This desk reflects the harmonious combination of functionality and aesthetics thanks to the presence of storage compartments and totally hidden cable management, as well as a convenient central drawer. Available with a leather-covered top, or entirely in wood with the addition of a leather desk pad, the Saffo desk is extremely versatile and perfectly furnishes settings of different styles.
