Claudio Silvestrin has been awarded The Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting® Award 2023 for his design of Cosmic desk created for Promemoria/Ghianda.
The essence and characteristic of this solid wood desk, rigorously absent of right angles, is that there is a hidden draw carved in an enormous sphere of solid pear wood that slots into the surface of the desk, supporting the desk itself.
The other characteristic, of no less importance, is the intentional absence of right angles, allowing the shape and the material (the walnut top and the pear sphere) to be perceived as weightless, as if they were suspended in pure space.
Originally founded by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1959, this historic global program was relaunched seven decades later by
