The AlfaOmega catalog asks it twice: «Writing desk or control room? Writing desk or soundbox?» The answer is Soundoffice, a stereo system that lives inside the desk. Two loudspeakers rated 20 W at 8 ohm with a 95-22,000 Hz response sit under the top, in the position the catalog calls optimal for whoever is seated; a hi-fi amplifier covers 20-20,000 Hz. Touch buttons on the leather desk pad handle on and off, volume and incoming calls, so a phone conversation runs hands-free through the desk itself. Devices connect by 3.5 mm mini-jack or Bluetooth, and the power cables run from the speaker compartment through the ducting between the two crosspieces and down a leather-covered container on one leg. The sound, says Codutti, «seems to come from the walls, the ceiling, the floor».
Soundoffice fits either line of the modern collection. Alfa is the hi-tech one: 3/8 in tempered glass tops lacquered white or black, legs in embossed or carbon leather, chrome details. Omega is the classic one: ebony or walnut dyed oak, saddle-stitched leather, black glass. Around the desk — offered with an L-shaped return up to 121 in wide — the same catalog furnishes meeting tables for six to eighteen, cabinets with a built-in safe or refrigerator, bookcases and the Coupè chair, all under Codutti's five-year guarantee. For US offices La Mercanti confirms the power outlet position next to the leg before the desk ships, because a control room without a socket is only a desk.
