Estel: the Italian maker Oscar Niemeyer agreed to design for
In 1985, in São Paulo, the Stella family persuaded architect Oscar Niemeyer to design an executive desk — an iconic piece that marked Estel's turn to design d'autore. Since then the Italian brand has worked with Karim Rashid, Ross Lovegrove, Enzo Mari and Cini Boeri, making office furniture that is as much statement as function.
For a US corporate or hospitality interior, that authored pedigree is the argument — and La Mercanti brings it with the technical file a specifier actually needs.
