Florence Desk by Montanari Group

Minimalism can still be luxurious. The Florence Desk is a case in point. Hand-crafted from dyed oak and walnut, Montanari Group has fashioned pure elegance and streamlined it for efficiency. The drawn metal base with an antique chrome finish represents artisan craftsmanship with a modern sensibility. The practical elements of the desk – four drawers, three trays, two top flaps and a hidden compartment – offer plenty of storage space for gizmos and gadgets. Sure, Da Vinci and Churchill liked to work while standing, but they didn’t have the Florence in their office.
