Elevated on a perforated metal spine, the Scriba desk by Molteni&C frames the workspace as an architectural gesture. Patricia Urquiola’s design explores linear restraint through a warm timber top, offset by a leather-clad side pocket and a lateral drawer concealed within the silhouette—balancing utility with visual stillness.

A sculptural book support in painted metal and a repositionable bookend introduce adaptability without disrupting the purity of form. Crafted with material precision and spatial intent, this designer writing desk brings compositional discipline to home offices, libraries, or refined project spaces—where tailored craftsmanship meets enduring clarity in functional design.
