Description

Designed in the 1960s by Sergio Rodrigues, this desk exemplifies the designer’s ability to combine robust construction with refined material expression. Crafted from solid Brazilian rosewood and rosewood veneer, the piece features a substantial wooden top supported by a clean, architectural base that conveys both strength and balance.

The desk is fitted with four drawers, each displaying precise joinery and smooth operation, underscoring the high level of craftsmanship typical of Rodrigues’s production. The rosewood is of exceptional quality, with dramatic natural veining and tonal variation that has been carefully revealed through professional refinishing. The interior compartments, drawer construction, and leg detailing further reflect the designer’s insistence on integrity throughout every element of the piece.

Minor age-related marks remain, consistent with period use, while the overall condition is excellent. Functional yet authoritative in presence, this desk is a strong example of Brazilian Modern furniture designed for both professional and domestic environments.
