writing desk 840 Stadera by Cassina

Writing-desk composed of two trapezoidal-shaped surfaces – a main and a side top – of two different depths, supported by a single steel base painted matt black. The surfaces come in Canaletto walnut version. The surfaces have two different thicknesses and a frame that delimits the external edges. A stiff leather top cover in different colours is also available, for use on the main surface.
First created for the Marcenaro home in Genoa, this desk has a single leg and works on the balance created by the inequality of the arms, much like the “Stadera”, or pendulum scales, to which it owes its name.
