Portofino Cerused White Oak Wood Desk

Believed to be among Gianfranco Frattini’s earliest designs, this well-proportioned desk was recreated from vintage black and white photographs. In staying true to its 1950s origins, our update retains the unique cutouts and spaces, with details such as a rubber-wrapped foot rest and solid wood drawer guides pulled directly from Frattini’s found photograph. Satin black powdercoated legs and a champagne brass crossbar beautifully complement the natural beauty of the wood, which is certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council ®. The desktop and shelves are made with richly grained white cerused oak, with a black ebonized oak drawer that pulls out for dramatic contrast. Originally designed for an architect to accommodate rolls of drafting paper, the desk is well-suited for all modern professional pursuits. CB2 exclusive.
