Italian Mid-Century Desk and Chair Designed by Vittorio Dassi in the 1950s This stunning Italian Mid-Century desk and chair set was designed by the renowned designer Vittorio Dassi in the 1950s. The combination of various types of wood used in the design is truly captivating. The top, the two drawers, and the side supports are crafted from maple, while the central part is made of teak. The different finishes applied to the woods are equally innovative. The maple components feature a glossy finish, while the teak parts have an elegant matte finish. This contrast in textures and sheen adds a refined and visually interesting element to the overall design. The desk itself boasts a beautiful and well-proportioned design, with a focus on refined lines and attention to detail. It is complemented by the original chair, which also features a sleek and elegant silhouette, continuing the designer's meticulous attention to the smallest design elements. The excellent condition of these two pieces is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship and the durability of the materials used. It is a rare opportunity to acquire an original Mid-Century set that has been so well-preserved over the years. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
