About This Piece

Vintage Design

This Italian extra large Arco desk was designed by Studio BBPR for Olivetti in the 1960s. Originally created for professional offices, the Arco series has become one of Olivetti's most recognizable furniture collections.

Overall dimensions are H: 75 / W: 180 / D: 88 cm.

The desk features a black-painted metal frame with the characteristic arch-shaped construction. On one side, there is a box with three drawers, all lockable with a central locking system. The desk retains its original key.

The spacious black top, with slightly curved edges, provides a generous working area while remaining highly resistant to everyday use. The original manufacturer’s engraving remains under the top, attesting to its provenance and authenticity.

Additional dimensions:
- drawer interior height: 8 cm,
- legs space 120 cm wide.

The desk has been thoroughly checked by our team. The countertop has been a new lacquer. All drawers slide smoothly, and the lock works properly. It remains in great original vintage condition with only minor signs of use, consistent with its age.
