Olivetti's innovative design for the office from 1963 is the forerunner of freestanding modular desk design popular in the fourth quarter of the twentieth century. The table desk has a post form top of laminated plywood on a metal frame. A demountable plastic drawer pedestal can hang from either side of the desk. The plastic drawer has an integral pull and contrasting light gray color.
