T96 ‘Boomerang’ Desk by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Italy, 1956
Designed in 1956 by acclaimed Italian architect and designer Osvaldo Borsani, the T96 ‘Boomerang’ Desk is a masterpiece of mid-century Italian design, produced by the iconic manufacturer Tecno. Celebrated for its distinctive asymmetrical, boomerang-shaped top, this desk merges architectural elegance with functional sophistication.
This particular example features two floating storage cabinets, each suspended beneath the sculptural metal bases—an uncommon and highly desirable configuration. Each cabinet contains drawers with original keys still present, a rare detail that adds to its authenticity and collector’s value.
The top appears to float effortlessly above the structural supports, creating a clean, open silhouette. Its dynamic form not only maximizes workspace but also showcases Borsani’s genius for blending industrial materials with refined, modern aesthetics.
The desk is in excellent vintage condition, with only minimal signs of age, preserving its integrity and visual impact. Whether placed in a high-end office, studio, or design-focused interior, the T96 remains a striking centerpiece that exemplifies post-war Italian innovation.
A rare and timeless work of design by one of Italy’s greatest creative minds.
