BOURGEOIS Rectangular wooden writing desk with drawers

Bourgeois is a desk designed by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez.‎ Veneered plywood frame with thick canaletto walnut sheet and drawers in dark-stained and natural-oil finished solid canaletto walnut.‎ Handles made from sheet metal upholstered in leather.‎ Matte black-varnished wiredrawn metal base.‎ Surface and external frame in plywood upholstered in leather.‎ Possibility of having surface and frame in two different leathers with no surcharge; in that case, the colour of the handles will be the same as that of the frame.‎ Wood is a living material and thus in time it can undergo slight colour and dimension variations.‎ During the seasoning phase, the solid wood moves even according to the different weather and dampness conditions in the air.‎ During the first months, the objects which lay on the tops must be periodically shifted since wood, finished with natural substances, is light sensitive and oxidizes, creating colour differences between the exposed and covered parts.‎
