On the eco-leather version of Bellagio and Narciso the writing surface is made of three panels, 3/4 in thick, in ivory or dark brown. The middle one moves. Pull it toward you and it slides over the undertop, opening a slot that leads to a storage tray built into the desk itself: pens, a phone, the papers you do not want on the table when the door opens. Push it back and the I Rovereschi top is flat again, three leathers in a row over a walnut or oak edge. No drawer front, no handle, nothing that shows from the visitor's chair.

Architect Stefania Tognoloni drew the three collections for Della Rovere's thirtieth year, and the price list shows the whole floor: modern desks 78 3/4, 86 5/8 or 94 1/2 in wide, an external return that brings the depth to 86 5/8 in, a round meeting table 47 1/4 in across, conference tables up to 149 5/8 in, bookcases with ribbed glass and LED light, and a range of staff desks, Consonanze, in matching materials. La Mercanti has the finish sample approved before the desk crosses the Atlantic, so that the leather on the sliding panel matches the one you touched.

FAQ

How thick is the top, and what is inside it?
The visible thickness is 2 1/4 in: a matte black poplar particleboard core with real-wood edges in smoked walnut or chocolate oak, topped by a 3/4 in panel veneered in the same real wood. Della Rovere finishes the veneer matte, with a semi-closed pore.
Do all three desks come in the return version?
Yes. Bellagio, Libra and Narciso are each listed with an external return that takes the width to 106 1/4, 114 1/8 or 122 in and the depth to 86 5/8 in, supported by a central metal leg painted brass. Two modesty panels are included in that layout.
What holds the desk up, if not four legs?
Two paneled legs on Bellagio and Libra, one straight and one curved on Narciso, joined by a bar and steel blocks that Della Rovere drills and mills by hand. On Bellagio and Narciso the modesty panel is part of the structure and cannot be left out.
Is there a version where the leather goes down the legs?
On Libra only. Beyond the eco-leather upper top, the outer panel of each leg can be ordered milled at 45° and covered in the same ivory or dark brown eco-leather. The price list codes end in G for that version and in P for the top-only version.
Which chair does Della Rovere pair with these desks?
Cadira, shown in the catalog in an executive version and a visitor version, in eco-leather or leather from the seating color card. The same catalog pairs the desks with the Consonanze staff desks for the rest of the floor.

How to specify an I Rovereschi desk in a project document

Five lines that turn an I Rovereschi desk into a specification an architect can approve and a purchasing office can compare.

Name the collection and the version
Write I Rovereschi and then the family: Bellagio, Libra or Narciso, with the layout (desk, external return, internal return with peninsula, service unit). The price list treats each as a separate item.
Give the width in the maker's steps
Specify 78 3/4, 86 5/8 or 94 1/2 in for the desk, or 106 1/4, 114 1/8 or 122 in with the return; the depth is 39 3/8 or 86 5/8 in. Avoid rounded figures the factory does not produce.
Describe the top by its layers
State the 2 1/4 in matte black core with real-wood edges and the 3/4 in veneered upper panel, then the wood: smoked walnut or chocolate oak. If eco-leather is wanted, add ivory or dark brown.
List the modesty panel as a component
For an I Rovereschi desk on Bellagio or Narciso the panel is structural: state height (13 3/8 or 22 1/4 in floor-standing) and finish. For Libra state the 18 1/4 in glossy black panel.
Attach the finish codes
Close with LNF or LRC for the wood and the leather-top codes from the color card, so that the drawing, the specification and the order confirmation use the same letters.
