The Almadies Desk is a refined composition of patinated bronze, Rainforest Brown marble, and pear wood—each element chosen for its depth, character, and timeless beauty. Inspired by the coastal vibrancy of the Almadies district in Dakar, Senegal, this piece balances strength and lightness with quiet confidence. Slender bronze legs lift the form gracefully, creating a sense of air and suspension, while the richly veined marble surface anchors the piece in earthy elegance. The drawers, crafted from pear wood—long prized for its noble quality and favored by Venetian artisans of the Serenissima—are delicately proportioned, offering a discreet and sophisticated storage solution. A study in contrast and harmony, the Almadies Desk brings sculptural presence and subtle poetry to any space.
