Rampa desk, 1965
Rampa desk by Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Karakter.
Inspired by the display stands traditionally used by Florists in Italian town squares, the Rampa desk is a multifunctional and witty design.
The stepped, glass-topped surfaces on one side of the unit serve as bookshelves, with a flap door concealing a storage compartment in the lower large step.
The opposite side features further storage compartments and a larger fold-down desk surface that transforms the unit into a writing desk. Further storage, including six drawers of diminishing sizes, are revealed when the desk is folded down.
The unit stands on castors with brakes which allow it to be moved about with ease and fixed in place as required.
