Designer: Ettore Sottsass
Maker: Olivetti - Italy
Year: 1970s

Condition Report: Vintage condition. Surfaces show some rusting and overall age. Drawers and functioning well. Original key included (rare). Originally mounted to the underside of a desk, so shows 4 mounting holes on the top
.
The Synthesis 45 office system was a truly widespread and functional solution for an adaptable work environment. Designed by Ettore Sottsass, his forever playful nature can can still be seen in a use case that usually favours a purely function first design approach.
This drawer cabninet, originally attached to a larger desk setup, offers just a glimpse into the wider collection.
Subtle details like the 3 tone colour, unique key, and generous drawer extensions make this a practical and interesting addition to a contemporary home office setup.
