I'll soon be moving into my new apartment and as a writer I will need the perfect surface on which to compose my thoughts. I think I may have found it in the Ribalta writing desk. Ideal for smaller spaces yet full of character, it appeals to me on so many levels.
Designed by Sabinoaprile, the Ribalta writing desk is available in lacquer or natural wood finish, which is topped with full-grain leather. Did I say how much I love it? 'Cause I do.
