A minimalist silhouette and refined details distinguish the Terrazzo writing desk designed by Nicola Bonriposi and presented by Potocco. The slender structure, consisting of a few elements perfectly calibrated in the proportions, presents a unique tactile and material charm thanks to the thin top covered in leather and finished with visible perimeter seams. The top is further embellished with light soft padding in polyurethane foam which frames the support area, extending its comfort. This solution creates an effect soft to the touch but extremely sturdy, essential to its function as a desk. Its profile – inspired by the characteristic terraced rice paddies of Bali – creates an outsize shoulder useful for supporting books or notes, extending its practical uses and making it an ideal furnishing for the home office. The cylindrical feet and details of the fixtures are finished in burnished brass, while a version with a central removable drawer is available on request. Terrazzo is characterized by the care lavished on every smallest detail, the result of skilled craftsmanship: from the elegant welds to the perfect alignment of the elements of the structure after assembly. In particular, the manual work on the surface is of very high quality, including the seams, the gluing, the perfect smoothing and the tints of the edges.
