De Symetria glass modern office desk by i4Mariani

De Symetria  by i4Mariani is a modern desk collection inspired by serene repose. The De Symetria office desk collection by i4Mariani draws its inspiration from serene moments spent lying in a hammock, gazing up at the tops of maritime pines where delicate branches support flat clusters of greenery. It also evokes images of imaginary waiters, worthy of a musical, who gracefully balance crystal trays with open hands and upward-pointing fingers. The design is characterized by bases where two brackets, resembling tree stirrups or hand stirrups made of steel with spokes of varying lengths, support transparent surfaces partially adorned with soft or saddle leather strips for enhanced comfort.

This innovative system is fundamentally constructed like a bridge or an easel, embodying a highly architectural design rooted in the static and compositional balance created by symmetry. The bases, which can be covered in wood, soft or saddle leather, or even lacquered glass, provide a solid contrast to the lightness of the brackets and tops. The transparency and the steel "open hands" become the defining features of this collection. The relationship between the trunk and the top of the tree, between the body and the hand outstretched like a ray of light, is beautifully recreated with a few essential lines. When mirrored, these lines form De Symetria, a collection that exemplifies the harmony and elegance of modern Italian design.
