Inspired by years of research into the perfect structural shape, studied by Carlo Mollino, the 2690 Cavour CM Writing Desk by Zanotta embodies a stunning balance of the bold and the elegant. Exquisitely crafted from wood and glass, its unique expression creates a harmony between organic and clean lines, resulting in a breathtaking structure that forms the ultimate study space. Ideally utilised in a home office or large open-plan space, the timeless design adapts flawlessly to a range of interiors; the perfect place to work, study or write.
Italian architect, designer and photographer Carlo Mollino was born in Turin in 1905. He received a degree in Architecture in 1931 and went on to have a highly diverse career covering architecture, design, interior decorating and town-planning. Among his other accomplishments, he designed a wide variety of modern furniture of all types and even invented new kinds of furniture.
His production made him one of the design icons of the 1950s. One of his most iconic pieces is the elegant and streamlined Cavour writing desk which is produced by Italian designer furniture brand Zanotta.
