About the Item

This desk is actually part of an extremely rare, secret executive furniture collection designed by Paolo Gucci in the 1980s. Paolo Gucci for Kimball. A Memphis-style desk, with a four section leather top, curved lacquer supports, the mahogany drawer with a fitted interior. Gucci, best known as a clothing designer, worked at the Kimball International furniture company in the 1980's under the name Paul Gelder. The true identity of the designer was kept secret, and only known by four executives, until the company could unveil its Gucci designed office furniture line without tipping off competitors in the industry. This desk is labelled 'Firenze' as part of the range.
