SECRETELLO
Designed by Michele De Lucchi
Secretello is the modern desk. Designed as a practical, self-contained workstation, Secretello offers a contemporary take on two classics: the secretaire desk and the display case.
The desk features a solid structure made from natural wood, with the open sections filled with sheets of ultra-clear safety glass.This sophisticated work of industrial design creates a space that feels intimate yet open all at once, offering a place to store work equipment, documents and books, as well as photos, special items and keepsakes.
DESIGNER
MICHELE DE LUCCHI
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.
"Designing isn't just creating beautiful buildings and beautiful objects, it's investigating the needs and desires of humankind.
"Michele De Lucchi

STRUCTURE
Made entirely in wood and safety glass, this desk consists of a solid structure in natural oak and a transparent enclosure that combines the features of a secretaire and a display case. The upper door at the front of the enclosure consists of a curved sheet of extra-clear glass mounted on special hinges. A sophisticated and carefully detailed balance mechanism permits it to be lifted up and opened with ease. The lower door, in the form of a fall-front leaf, opens to expand the surface of the wood desktop.
