Description from the seller

Rare Presidential Office Suite "i4 Mariani" (70s) - Desk, "Big" Chair and Fridge-Bar Cabinet – Designed by Guido Faleschini

Extraordinary and exclusive vintage executive office set, produced in the 1970s by the renowned Italian manufacturer i4 Mariani, designed by the famous architect and designer Guido Faleschini. A perfect example of "Space Age" and fine Italian craftsmanship, where the strict geometric structure meets luxury and the warmth of premium full-grain cognac-colored leather.

The lot is exceptionally complete and includes:
- 1 Impressive Presidential Desk: Characterized by a very large central kneehole area in black leather with visible sartorial stitching, thick perimeter border, and cylindrical legs fully clad in cognac leather. Includes a coordinated side extension with an integrated two-drawer cabinet.
• 1 Director's Chair Model "Big" (1976): Iconic swiveling and adjustable seat. Features rich, comfortable quilted cognac leather upholstery, embracing chrome-tube armrests with upholstered inserts, and a five-spoke metal base with wheels. Under the shell is the original geometric fabric with the logo and manufacturer's label.
• 1 Multifunction Servant Cabinet (Low Credenza): Coordinated storage cabinet with on the right side three large drawers with original cylindrical chromed handles and a lock. The left compartment houses an exclusive original integrated bar refrigerator from the era, perfectly camouflaged and ideal for high-visibility offices.
Dimensions: 86 x 91 x 45 cm

Excellent condition for vintage pieces of this era. The set has been preserved with extreme care and shows only slight and physiologically typical signs of surface wear on the leather and metal parts, which do not compromise its aesthetics but certify its authenticity and its fascinating historical patina. Solid structures, bright chrome finishes, and clean interiors of the drawers.

The original mark "Vero Cuoio i4 Mariani - Made in Italy" heat-stamped guarantees its complete authenticity.

Given the weight and substantial dimensions of the lot, local pickup in Turin, Italy is preferred at the buyer's expense.

Alternatively, shipping can be organized upon quotation and agreement with the buyer via courier.

Pickup can be arranged from December; we are currently on holiday.
