PROTRACTOR MID-CENTURY MODERN DESK
Designed in 1949 by Carlo Mollino, the Protractor Desk is a modernist icon for writing. ## MAKING THE PROTRACTOR DESK
Exploring its architectural elements enhances appreciation of this masterpiece. The chair slides beneath boomerang wood beams. Transparent oblong cuts in beams create an airy look. The 15 mm thick glass surface rests on steel buttons for elegance. Stainless steel sleeves elevate the beams above the drawers. Open-faced, the glass-covered drawer adds transparency. Two steel rods support the drawer's outer edge. It is a marvel in design, finely reproduced with a lustrous finish.
