Umberto Asnago and Noah: the home office that is actually complete

Half-measures make bad home offices: a desk squeezed into a corner is not a workplace. Noah, designed by Umberto Asnago for i4Mariani, is the full answer — an asymmetric work corner with shelves for books, a chest of drawers and doors for documents, refined enough for the living room. Its author spent thirty-eight years at Giorgetti (1968-2006), ending as head of the research centre, before going independent and joining i4Mariani in 2011.

Alongside Noah come the Avatar office collection, the Napa desk and the Asso and Lounge seating. La Mercanti brings the range to Indian projects: work-from-home, engineered by a researcher.
