Period documentation of Parisi designs illustrate various desks and cabinets with organically inspired drawer pulls, as displayed in this desk. Aloi's 1952 l'Arredamento Moderno illustrates an asymmetrical writing desk with an overlapping edge support for the glass top above a sculptural base and drawer case with definitive links to this example. This desk has an overhanging glass top with central shelf and two pairs of drawers.
