A Mid-Century Modern desk, by Italian furniture maker Dal Vera, masterfully combines the organic beauty of rattan and bamboo to create a piece that is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. The desk's form showcases a minimalist silhouette, while the natural materials provide warmth and texture, invoking a sense of laid-back sophistication .
The desk's surface is meticulously wrapped in woven rattan, emphasizing the artisanal craftsmanship and giving it a tactile, handcrafted appeal. Two drawers, framed by sturdy bamboo, sit on one side of the desk, their faces adorned with tightly woven cane panels and adorned with sleek brass hardware, enhancing the natural elegance of the piece. The subtle curve of the desktop softens the structure’s overall geometry, while the bamboo stretchers along the bottom add both visual balance and structural support.
About Dal Vera:
Based in Conegliano in the Veneto region of Italy, Dal Vera was founded in 1884 by Antonio Dal Vera and produced an extensive collection of living and dining room furniture. During its peak in the mid-20th century, Italian designer Flam Sansoni created much of the furniture for the company. Materials like bamboo, glass and leather also featured heavily in its inventive designs, as did brass hardware and handles. Dal Vera’s postwar creations have a more typically mid-century modern appeal, with clean and angular lines inspired by Scandinavian designers such as Hans Wegner. Over the years, the company’s pieces took on a Bohemian style, keeping up with the trends of the time.
Throughout the early 1980s, Dal Vera dining room chairs were used by the Les Arcs ski resort in Savoie, France. They were personally selected by the influential French designer and architect Charlotte Perriand. The company’s high-quality pieces remain in demand with collectors today.
