(smow) blog compact: Pegasus Home Desk by Ippolito Fleitz Group / Tilla Goldberg for ClassiCon

The first post in our, hopefully short, new series “Things we missed at IMM Cologne 2014” is devoted to the new Pegasus Home Desk by Ippolito Fleitz Group / Tilla Goldberg for Munich based manufacturer ClassiCon.

We know why we missed it in Cologne, call it youthful arrogance, we just can’t believe we did.

Not only does the Pegasus Home Desk exude a formal parity with a horse saddle, but it functions as a sort of home office saddle bag – the leather desk top can be rolled up from the left and/or right side to expose the inner storage space. An inner space specially created and organised for the safe custody of all those electronic items that define our modern world.

Although we’re fairly certain you could also keep a few books in there. Assuming analogue is your thing.

Representing as it does a relatively rare foray into commercial furniture design by Stuttgart based Ippolito Fleitz Group, the Pegasus Home Desk was created by an in-house team under the leadership of Group Product Design Director Tilla Goldberg and as an object appeals to us largely through its easy combination of an accessible, familiar form language and an unobtrusive functionality, and it certainly would appear to represent a very positive addition to the ever growing genre of “home-office-desks-that-don’t-look-like-home-office-desks.”

Even if we do have more than a few reservations about the leather cladding on the frame. One can overdo visual analogies.

But then the leather cladding is optional.

And as we say, we have only seen photos and so, as ever, will wait until we see it in the “flesh” before forming a more definite opinion. Most importantly on the leather cladding.

We’re assuming that chance will come in Milan…………………
