Like many of Lazzerini & Pickering’s designs, the Christoph Desk integrates a number of functions in one single piece. The desk - ingenious in its simplicity - features a cabinet with two doors and a single shelf. Materially, the piece’s functionality is heightened by the use of sumptuous materials, including leather and nails or leather with polyester lacquer. Designed by Lazzarini & Pickering for Marta Sala in 2015. Believing that architecture is the foundation of all design and furniture is much like a dialogue, Marta Sala Éditions is a collaboration between the namesake founder and the architects Claudio Lazzarini and Carl Pickering. The collection, which includes seating, tables, lighting and several home objects, is created by Italy’s finest craftsman. In the spirit of iconic Italian design, the range marries modernist lines with sumptuous details and unexpected materials. Through this exploration aims to imbue soul into the everyday, a concept Sala calls: The secret soul of useful things.”
