Designed by Franco Albini and manufactured by F.lli Poggi in Italy between 1954 and 1956, this rare vintage office suite comprises the iconic Stadera desk, a matching folding chair, and the CM24 cart with drawers. Named after the traditional balance scale, the desk is distinguished by its twin trapezoidal tops supported by a single steel base, creating a composition of visual equilibrium. The folding chair and cart complete the ensemble with the same clarity of form and functional elegance that define Albini’s design language.
