About Architect Piero Portaluppi created the “omnibus” desk for his home, solving a practical issue with an invention of great usefulness: give the possibility to those who write to have paper, magazines, objects, albums, books, etc. at hand. This was how the desk was presented in the 1942 issue of the magazine “Stile”. A big drum-shaped piece of furniture with eight drawer-like compartments, surfaces and parts that can be tipped over, that rotates in both directions on its linchpin with a slight pressure of the hand. This symbol of Portaluppi’s traces in the world of design was especially and only created for Portalupi himself.
