Product description
This rare writing desk and matching chair showcase Carlo Bugatti’s imaginative, eccentric brilliance - a strikingly unconventional choice for bold interior curators and collectors with a taste for the extraordinary.
Created circa 1910, the set features Bugatti’s iconic fusion of exotic materials and architectural fantasy: walnut, vellum, pewter intarsia, punched copper, and long silk tassels, all composed into forms that feel both ancient and avant-garde.
The desk showcases six small drawers bearing enigmatic, glyph-like script, while lacquered oak acorn handles add a charming, whimsical note to the desk’s rich material vocabulary. Punched copper sheets wrap the desk in a sculptural skin. A vellum-clad pigeonhole in between the drawers softens the geometry.
A large triangular drawer at the front carrying a lush silk tassel adds movement and refinement. The pieces feels like an artifact rescued from an invented civilization: lettering poured in pewter, stepped wooden decorative blocks, and hammered copper motifs revealing themselves as the light moves across the surface. The vellum on the top and inside the pigeon hole is the original and is left untouched.
The chair is equally captivating: with the well known circular
