Zanotta Quaderna Desk 2750

Description

Quaderna Desk is part of the historical collection of the Superstudio team designers for the Zanotta brand.The Quaderna series turns 50 and celebrates its success by introducing three new models to the successful collection. Recognized as a collection of "radical design", Quaderna declines the study of designers on "Histograms", objects constructed on the basis of a spatial grid with orthogonal mesh. The desk is characterized by the retractable pull-out drawer, obtained in the thickness of the top (6 cm) to the full length. The drawer compartment is in black scratch-resistant embossed painted wood. The internal compartment of the drawer measures: 110 cm in length, 31 cm in depth and 3 cm in height and is equipped with two lateral spaces for pens and pencils of 3 cm in width and 22.5 cm in height. The capacity of the drawer makes it possible to accommodate a laptop and A3 size sheets. The drawer is equipped with a retraction mechanism that facilitates perfect closing, it also has a nail on the lower part of the center of the drawer so that it can be opened easily. The furnishings are in honeycomb wood plated with white Print laminate with an isotropic checkered design with a 3 cm center distance. The lattice is made using digital printing which causes a slight variation in the center distance of the lines and therefore involves creating a body to be coated that is not perfectly orthogonal in order to matchoptically all lines on each side.Quaderna is now part of the permanent collections of important museums around the world including:Triennale Design Museum, Milan; National Museum of Modern Art, Paris; The Museum ofModern Art, New York; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Köln;Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin; Kunstmuseum, Düsseldorf; Denver Art Museum, Denver.1971 Gold Medal at the M.I.A.2019 with the Quirinale Contemporaneo project by the will of the President Sergio Mattarellathe Quaderna console was chosen to furnish the rooms of the Quirinale to represent thehistory of Design and the Italian ability to create products with high quality content and withouttime.Important exhibitions in which Superstudio / Zanotta exhibited Quaderna:1973 Zanotta presents the Quaderna Series for the first time in Paris2015-16 Milan, PAC Super Superstudio exhibition.
