Franco Albini’s Stadera desk, manufactured in Italy between 1954 and 1956 by F.lli Poggi, stands out as a masterpiece of functional and refined design. Its signature feature is the two trapezoidal tabletops placed side by side, supported by a single steel base, creating a unique visual and tactile balance. The blend of a metal frame and wooden top highlights Albini’s minimalist elegance.
