Segreto
Andrée
Putman designs a contemporary version of the
household desk. The Segreto
desk is a piece of furniture with clean, simple lines and elegant
proportions that reveals a series of drawers built into the desktop. The
vertical drawer built into one of the two legs and furnished with leather
bellows pockets is also concealed. There are also various compartments for
passing cables into the desk. The structure of the Segreto desk is made from
MDF with reinforcements in solid beech and lacquered with scratchproof textured
paint in the colours milk or graphite. The drawers are in MDF, inserted in the
desktop, with bottoms upholstered in leather. The upper part of the Segreto
desk and the front parts of the pockets are padded in polyurethane foam and
upholstered in leather. The desktop, drawers and accessories are all
upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather.
