Cavour Desk



The Cavour desk features a .86" thick, plate glass top which sits atop a graceful and sculptural oak wood frame and drawer compartment. The contoured frame and drawers are available in your choice of either natural oak or wenge stained oak with brushed glossy lacquered parts in black. Since its birth in 1949, the elegant and sexy design of the Cavour is still very unique and impressive.

Born in Turin, Piedmont, Carlo Mollino grew up and became interested in a variety of topics that were as gaudy as his art, such as design, architecture, the occult, and race cars. His outrageous credo was certainly reflected throughout his body of work. Mollino's architecture and furniture are famous for their ability to enable occupants to manipulate volumes at a whim. Carlo Mollino died in 1973, he was still working.
