Iconic and instantly recognizable 'Orix' desk set designed by Vittorio Parigi and nani Prina for Molteni & Co in 1971.

Seen here in its most beautiful colourway (according to us), a lovely mustard yellow.
The desk allows for truly intuitive and engaging use, from storing items underneath its opening glass top or grabbing a book from the oscillating bookcase on the right-hand side.
The desk is composed of a single piece of moulded ABS plastic (the only ABS piece Molteni manufactured in the 70s) which rests on a chromed tubular steel base. The glass top opens and shuts safely with a small dent which allows the users' hand to fold it down smoothly.
Produced by Molteni in the 1970s in Italy.

Price refers to the set which includes the desk and chair.
Glass top folding mechanism functions flawlessly.

In very good vintage condition with smaller expected signs of age, as indicated in the photos. Small scratches are present on the plastic and glass as expected. The chair is slightly more visibly worn than the desk although both maintain a good impression in person.
A sticker was present on the right hand side of the table which was safely peeled off however the area underneath it remains in a lighter shade than the rest of the desk. The chair is also of a slightly more vibrant color as it was possibly less used by a previous owner and less exposed to sunlight.
There are two holes underneath the seat on the chair which do not jeopardize its stability.

Depending on the destination, the table may be disassembled for shipping to ensure a safe arrival.
