Blocco Desk
Bonaldo’s Blocco Desk by Alain Gilles balances a rectangular Canaletto-walnut body on two rounded, pillar-like supports.
A concealed drawer adds storage for writing and work essentials without interrupting the desk’s substantial outline. The contrast between the straight upper block and curved legs gives this writing desk a sculptural profile from across the room.
Every detail, considered.
