Miniature replica of a desk designed by Silvio Cavatorta in the early 50s

This miniature 1:12 scale replica is a faithful replica of a mid-century desk by Silvio Cavatorta. The delicate drawers, which seem to float on the side, are functional. The legs and drawers are all hand shaped and a narrow hand shaped strip rims the tabletop. Like many of his other creations in teak, this desk is made of repurposed wood. Teak was a very common material in mid-century pieces, but it is a very scarce wood nowadays.
