Albini Desk
Overview
Design by Franco Albini, 1958.
By Knoll.
Minimal, functional, striking. The most basic materials - glass, steel and painted wood - created something extraordinary in Franco Albini's 1958 floating pedestal desk. The desk features a "floating" wood pedestal with a rear open shelf for magazines or small books. This design icon for the workspace demonstrates Albini's commitment to both modernism and traditional artisanship.
Notes:
Drawer mounts only on the right side.

Terrific customer service!
By: G.G., Designer (New York)
Very pleased with my new Albini desk and all my other YLiving purchases. Their customer service is unmatched.
Lovely & Classic Product, Delivered & Assembled with Care
By: WestSideNYC'er, Homeowner (New York City)
The Albini desk hardly needs my review. It is a beautiful (and useful) object, and a pleasure to use. It is, of course, a smaller desk, and the glass top like any glass surface requires regular cleaning. YLiving delivered exactly on time, as promised, and the assemblers took great care, and left not a scrap of debris in their wake.
Designer: Franco Albini
After graduating in architecture at Milan Politecnico, Franco Albini worked simultaneously in fields of furniture, product design, architecture, urban planning and interior design. His sentiments as a rationalist architect translated into remarkably transparent furniture designs, which display a knowledgeable use of materials while presenting their internal structure and processes of production.
