The writing desk has always been an intimate and personal space—a place where thoughts, ideas, and reflections find refuge. With the introduction of Beo, Porada reinterprets this traditional furnishing typology, transforming it into a contemporary piece. Beo is born from the meeting of two traditional materials: solid wood, which defines its structure, and Cuoietto leather, used for refined details such as the soft insert on the worktop. Elegant and sophisticated, Beo reveals its character through thoughtfully designed elements for storage and organization: the pull-out drawer beneath the top is divided into compartments, becoming a discreet repository, while the rear section of the top opens to reveal a hidden storage compartment, housing integrated power sockets seamlessly incorporated into the product’s silhouette. Completing both the composition and functionality is the option to add an elliptical mirror with a wooden frame, transforming Beo into a refined vanity desk
Technical features
Gabriele & Oscar Buratti
Gabriele Buratti, architect and professor of interior architecture at the Design department of Politecnico di Milano and Oscar Buratti, architect, together founded the BURATTI ARCHITETTI studio. The Studio has a multidisciplinary practice, which covers buildings and urban areas, architecture to interiors, furniture and object design, as well as design of exhibitions and showrooms. An intense and varied professional path in which themes, places and typologies, brands and people, materials and craftsmanship, mingle together. Buratti brothers share with Porada the intention of combining culture and professional specialization, experimentation and technique, original visions, and product quality.
“We don’t believe in striking gestures, but in the ability to transfer into the object a broader view of the space, good technique and care of detail.”
