Unifor MDL System Desk
MDL SYSTEM Desk
MDL SYSTEM DESK
Designed by Michele De Lucchi
Carefully designed down to the smallest detail, MDL System features individual desks and workstations which can be arranged in rows or facing each other, with a range of different shapes and sizes available. Cable management accessories, shelves and dividing panels complete the collection.
The Full version of the workstations features an unusual C-shaped profile that creates an original and practical shelf as well as space for numerous small drawers and optional power and data connections, while the Basic plus version features an L-shaped shelf and a dividing panel which can be positioned to suit specific requirements.
The metal support structure of MDL System consists of tracks below the worktop and contoured legs in extruded aluminium, painted platinum grey or with a polished aluminium finish. A special fastening system allows the various elements to be positioned as required.
A limited number of lightweight, functional modular components within a single assembly system combine easily to create solutions that meet the flexibility requirements of a shared work environment.
Linear and facing workstation configurations, each supported by a single pair of contoured legs, delineate, and organise open-space work environments while readily adapting to changing situations.
DESIGNER
MICHELE DE LUCCHI
"Designing isn't just creating beautiful buildings and beautiful objects, it's investigating the needs and desires of humankind."
Michele De Lucchi (1951) was born in Ferrara, Italy. After graduating in architecture in Florence, over the course of the 1980s he consolidated his working relationship with Olivetti, having begun in 1979 thanks to Ettore Sottsass, who had entrusted him with the design of the office furnishing systems for the Synthesis division.
In the same period, he began designing lamps and furnishing elements for the most prominent Italian and European companies. Making use of a design approach—global and transversal—that treats architecture as an integrated system, he lends his skills to product design, furnishings and graphics.
Production of Tolomeo, his table lamp for Artemide, began in 1987, resulting in his first Compasso d’Oro ADI award. He won a second Compasso d’Oro for his Artjet 10 printer for Olivetti.
In recent years he has developed numerous architectural projects for public and private clients and has curated many important exhibitions. He designs objects and small furnishings under the name Produzione Privata, collaborating with various artisans for their manufacture.
