Description

Step into the future with the space age design desk Platone, a masterpiece of 70s avant-garde furniture conceived by Giancarlo Piretti for Anonima Castelli. Designed in the 1970s, this innovative piece is not just a functional desk but a celebrated work of art, proudly part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

The Platone desk is a stunning example of Space Age furniture design, featuring a sleek and modern aesthetic that was ahead of its time. Its frame is constructed from polished, tubular chrome steel, providing a sturdy yet visually lightweight structure. The joints are made from precision-cast aluminum alloy, demonstrating Piretti’s commitment to combining strength with elegance.

The desk surface is crafted from rigid beige polyurethane, offering a durable workspace that complements the minimalist frame. This material choice reflects the period’s fascination with new, high-tech materials that could achieve both form and function.

One of Platone’s standout features is its foldability, allowing for convenient storage and versatility in usage—a hallmark of Piretti’s innovative approach to design. Whether as a statement piece in a contemporary home office or a collectible for design aficionados, the Platone desk seamlessly blends practicality with artistic merit.

Despite its age, this vintage piece is in excellent condition. The chrome steel frame remains shiny and clean, showing only minor oxidation visible upon close inspection. The beige surface is intact and well-maintained, with some scratches and small stains mostly confined to the underside, adding to its authentic vintage charm without detracting from its overall aesthetic appeal.

The Platone desk is a piece of design history. Perfect for enthusiasts of Space Age aesthetics and collectors of iconic mid-century modern pieces, this desk will elevate any interior with its timeless style and innovative spirit.

Bring home a piece of MoMA’s collection and experience the timeless elegance and futuristic design of the Platone desk.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 13th August 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

All items at Vinterior are special and unique, and we understand that once they are at the Customer's place, they might not fit the space or just don’t feel right. This is why we offer a market-leading 100-day returns policy for purchases from Professional sellers after goods have been received by customers based in the UK and European Union. This means Vinterior customers can return their items for any reason up to 100 days from the day they were received.

If purchased from an Individual seller, a 14-day return policy applies from the day it was received.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
