Description
close

A cantilevered profile and asymmetrical base define the Aksel writing desk by Porada, where architectural form meets compositional balance. Designed by Meneghello Paolelli, its low-set silhouette introduces spatial clarity to compact home offices and refined study areas. The offset drawer volume anchors the structure while guiding the eye horizontally across its linear frame.

Crafted in solid canaletto walnut with traditional joinery, the desk offers a two-part top—walnut paired with a contrasting leather or marble insert. A subtle groove accommodates Champagne-finished accessories while discreetly integrating cable management. This measured fusion of tactility and function reflects Porada’s legacy of refined Italian craftsmanship.

Estimated delivery time: 8 - 10 Weeks
