Afra & Tobia Scarpa "Artona" walnut burl Executive Desk for Maxalto 1975
Distinguish your workspace with a curated design piece that reflects your unique style. This extraordinary 1975 Artona series desk (Model 7737), designed by the legendary duo Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto, represents the absolute pinnacle of high-end mid-century Italian craftsmanship. Originally created as part of the sophisticated, artisanal division of B&B Italia, this piece seamlessly merges geometric precision with ultra-luxurious materials.
The architectural presence of the desk is defined by its spectacular top crafted from rich walnut burl wood, showcasing deep, organic grain patterns. Framing this centerpiece is the signature striped inlaid walnut edging, the unmistakable graphic hallmark that makes the Artona series highly coveted by elite collectors worldwide.
Functionality meets absolute elegance in its storage configuration. The center features a slim, leather-wrapped drawer, while both flanks house discrete side compartments hidden behind tactile cognac leather doors, opening to reveal internal shelving. Because the entire backside of the storage units is meticulously finished in matching premium cognac leather, this desk is completely freestanding, making it a spectacular statement piece to place right in the center of an executive room.
This piece has been totally and meticulously restored to excellent condition. The wood has been revitalized to highlight its natural contrast, and the leather panels have been professionally conditioned. It is completely ready to anchor your office, gallery, or high-end living environment with unmatched character.
How to clean and maintain these premium leather and burl wood surfaces? For daily dusting, use a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth across both the walnut burl top and the leather panels.
Burl Wood and Leather Care: To preserve the radiant luster of the walnut burl wood, clean periodically with a damp cloth and buff dry immediately; avoid silicone-based retail polishes. For the cognac leather elements, apply a specialized, high-grade neutral leather conditioner once a year to keep the skins supple, hydrated, and protected from drying out.
What to Avoid: To protect the organic materials, do not use aggressive chemical sprays, multi-purpose household degreasers, or abrasive sponges. Keep the desk positioned away from direct sunlight and active radiators to avoid uneven fading or cracking of the wood and leather.
