Trade terms for professionals and design studios

Corner offices send messages whether they mean to or not. A designer desk of tempered crystal sends a precise one: nothing here needs hiding. The Air Desk keeps the whole scene in view — papers, screens, decisions in progress — and extends the same policy to itself, showing exactly how 12 mm of glass, two crystal sides and one metal beam hold a working day. Visitors read it before anyone speaks a word about company culture.

Pinuccio Borgonovo drew it in 2008. The top can stay transparent, take back-painted colour from the sample range in gloss or satin, or wear leather-effect laminated crystal; metals run from polished stainless to hand-brushed black aluminium on request. The family includes the Air Desk 1, resting on the Air Unit storage system, and the taller Air Up versions of 2011. La Mercanti ships it to offices across the United States with samples ahead of the order — transparency, after all, starts before the purchase.

FAQ

What sizes does the Air Desk come in?
Thirteen, from a 120 x 51 cm console format to a 200 x 120 cm executive top — about 47 to 79 inches wide — all standing 74 cm tall.
What exactly is back-painting?
The colour goes on the underside of the crystal and is sealed by it: the working face is always glass, and the shade stays untouched by daily use.
Which version pairs the desk with storage?
The Air Desk 1 rests one end on the Air Unit cabinet system; the 2011 Up versions raise that system above the top for a taller screen of storage.
Who designed the Air Desk?
Pinuccio Borgonovo, in 2008 — with the Air Desk 1 Up and 1 Up S added to the family in 2011.
Can we review materials before ordering?
Yes: La Mercanti delivers crystal and metal samples to your office, and the sampling cost is credited in full when the order is confirmed.

Speccing an Air Desk for a corner office

Five steps that turn a floor plan into a signed order.

Map the desk's territory
Thirteen sizes run from 120 x 51 to 200 x 120 cm: measure chair clearance and visitor circulation before opening the colour book.
Use the freedom of finished edges
Every edge of the crystal is a finished face — the Air Desk can float free of the wall, even mid-room in a glass-walled office.
Match or contrast the palette
Bare crystal defers to the room; a back-painted or leather-effect top makes one deliberate statement. Decide which role the desk plays.
Judge samples on site
La Mercanti brings glass and metal samples to the actual office; the sampling cost is credited in full at order confirmation.
Write the whole spec at once
Size, glass, metal, cable route and version go into a single order, with delivery terms confirmed in writing at confirmation.
