Steel Tuning Fork Desk by Marzio Cecchi for Studio Most Florence, 1970s

One of only 40 ever produced.
The Diapason Desk in stainless steel by Marzio Cecchi for Studio Most Firenze, 1970s. Its sleek design features a cantilevered tapering top with a curved edge, complemented by a unique circular cut-out base, ideal for comfortably resting your feet. The desk is constructed from thick stainless steel and fully enclosed, making it a striking piece of functional art.

The desk serves multiple purposes: it can function as a traditional desk, a console, or even as a shop counter. Its versatility and iconic status make it one of Marzio Cecchi’s most recognized designs. Cecchi, a visionary of Italian design, was known for his groundbreaking, avant-garde creations that significantly influenced the design world. We have chosen to keep the original patina intact, instead of polishing the desk to show its originality and how it aged beautifully. The desk could easily be polished back to its original state when wished for.
