Production time: 7 Weeks

*Price valid for the version with top in transparent crystal – frame and chest with drawers in natural oak – executive kit excluded (cod. 2690).

The Cavour desk by Zanotta has slender and dynamic shapes, probably inspired by its author - the Turin dandy Carlo Mollino, a true cult-architect whose value was fully rediscovered only many years after his death - by his passion for speed and racing cars. In it, the fluid and organic lines of the structure find an ideal counterweight in the solidity of the large side chest of drawers, in a fascinating balanced asymmetry. An immortal classic, Cavour is an elegant and luxurious desk in which a natural material such as the wood of the base is coupled with a light glass top that does not veil the suggestive shapes of the complex structure

Zanotta
Design and culture: from these two inspirations, Zanotta draws its identity. Browsing the Zanotta catalog is like entering a real design museum full of the key works of some of the biggest protagonists of the furnishings field. Founded in Nova Milanese by Aurelio Zanotta in the ‘50s, the company inextricably links its name to the avant-garde design season, from which innovative furnishings are born, often enriched by an ironic touch. To these timeless masterpieces, Zanotta flanks reissues of classics from the first half of the twentieth century and a contemporary collection inspired by great lightness and quality.Read more

Designed by

Carlo Mollino
Carlo Mollino
Carlo Mollino (1905-1973) was one of the most eccentric and peculiar figures of Italian architectural design in the twentieth century. Born and lived in Turin until his death, son of an important engineer, Mollino is many things at the same time: dandy and grand viveur, skilled skier (a discipline he teaches and on which he writes a famous manual), passionate car driver (in the 1950s he races the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans on a car designed and engineered by himself) and acrobatic airplanes, refined photographer (often with an erotic theme). But, above all, he is an architect, and he is an architect in his own way, pursuing an extreme and baroque style that earns him as many admirers as detractors. Among his most famous works, there are the Teatro Regio in Turin and Casa Garelli in Champoluc. However, what remains of him are his furnishings, with bold and sinuous curves, often inspired by the shapes of the female body, heirs of the suggestions of Surrealism and in turn prefiguring the trend towards Biomorphism that takes root in international design starting from the years '50. Behind the dreamlike appearance, Mollino funiture hides a rigorous engineering precision, got back with the utmost philological scruple from the reissues that Zanotta has been offering exclusively since 1982.Read more
