About this Product

Exuding a retro charm with an Art Deco feel, the Allegory desk was designed in 2015 by the famous Italo-Danish Gamfratesi studio. This is a desk that breathes great modernity, combined with the timeless elegance of the first Thonet furniture. Allegory is characterised by an incredible decorative panel, a large caned straw disc giving it a strong personality.

GamFratesi

GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom. GamFratesi aim to create furniture that illustrates the process and the techniques that created it, and which reflect a persistent exploration of the diverse border zone between harmony and disharmony. Gamfratesi studio was founded in 2006 by danish architect Stine Gam and italian architect Enrico Fratesi. the studio is based in Copenhagen.
