Albini Desk

After graduating with a degree in architecture from Milan Politecnico, Franco Albini straddled the fields of furniture, product design, architecture, urban planning and interior design. While working under famed Italian designer Gio Ponti, Albini developed an appreciation for combinations of traditional craft techniques and modern forms.

As his career evolved, Albini became an important member of the Italian Neo-Rationalist architecture movement. His portfolio is recognized for remarkably transparent furniture designs, which often feature very basic, near-raw materials and make little effort to conceal their internal structure or processes of production.

In 1949, Knoll introduced a desk, and two chairs — one with metal legs and one with wooden legs — designed by Albini. The simple desk, a representative example of Albini’s aesthetic of transparency, is still in production by Knoll today.

Remote Delivery

We will do our best to fulfill your order based on our standard domestic shipping policy; however, some areas are significantly more expensive for us to ship and deliver to than others, so an additional surcharge may apply if your address falls outside of our normal delivery range. Remote delivery surcharges apply for destinations with a distance of 30 km or greater outside of major urban centres. We will contact you prior to applying any additional shipping surcharges.

In some cases items may be out of stock or made-to-order based on your selection.

If the ‘Add to cart’ button has been replaced with a ‘Pre-order’ button, this indicates that the product or variant is currently out of stock, but that it can be pre-ordered. We will order the item from the supplier for you, and either ship it to you or let you know when it's available for pickup once it arrives. 

We accept pre-orders on all items for sale on shop.livingspace.com.

Standard lead times for our suppliers can vary and we do our best to display accurate information on each product page. If an item is back-ordered and not going to be available within these time frames, we will contact you with an ETA and give you the option to change or cancel your order. 

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Pre-ordered items are subject to a 20% restocking fee if they are returned.
