This unique corner shelf desk with a cabinet, made by Azucena in 1979, is a remarkable piece of custom-made furniture that embodies the Italian manufacturer’s mastery of form, function, and material. Constructed from high-gloss dark green lacquered wood, this corner unit is a striking blend of modernist aesthetics and practicality. Its two offset surfaces create an intriguing visual dynamic, while the curved and asymmetrical shape adds an extra dimension of complexity to the design. The tops are deliberately non-parallel, which lends the piece a sculptural quality.

 

The shelf unit is ingeniously designed to maximize both storage and workspace. Between the two upper surfaces is a single drawer, perfect for smaller items or documents, while the lower section features four large drawers housed within the cabinet. This ample storage space is complemented by a central door with a glass front, allowing for additional visible storage or display opportunities. The glass door enhances the sense of openness in the piece, balancing the solid lacquered wood surfaces with a touch of transparency and lightness.

 

A particularly unique feature of this corner shelf desk is the built-in square white light, originally designed to view X-ray images, as it was owned by a doctor. This light, seamlessly integrated into the design, adds a layer of functionality that sets the piece apart. While this feature is no longer essential for most users, it stands as a fascinating detail that reflects the desk’s original purpose, offering a glimpse into its history. The light can either be used as intended or left as a cool, decorative element that highlights the thoughtfulness behind the unit’s design.

 

This corner shelf desk was custom-made to complement the SCR7 desk by Dominioni, which is available separately in another listing. Together, these pieces form a cohesive and harmonious workspace, though they are impressive standalone works of design. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout, with smooth-operating drawers and a flawless lacquer finish that remains in fantastic original condition. There are no significant signs of wear beyond what would be expected from a piece of this age, making it an exceptionally well-preserved example of high-end Italian design from the late 20th century.
