Design Centro offers high-style office furnishings, Design Centro Italia
March, 2011
by Design Centro Italia
“Don’t make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don’t hesitate to make it beautiful.” While these words were used to articulate the philosophy espoused by Shaker furniture designers, they perfectly describe the values of Italian designers who are legendary for their ability to create objects of all kinds that wed utility and aesthetic appeal.
Design Centro offers the artistry and craftsmanship of contemporary and traditional Italian designers of furnishings and accessories to the discerning American consumer. With a warehouse and gallery-like showroom located near San Francisco, Design Centro is dedicated to displaying exquisite workmanship and ultra-modern style furnishings and decor in a suitable environment. Beautiful design and aesthetic décor is not limited to home furnishings at Design Centro. The company offers a diverse range of office furniture that is elegantly functional and appealingly innovative in order to provide pleasing design solutions for the business world. The desks, office chairs, and computer stands from Design Centro reflect the union of high style with comfortable utility.
Examples of office furniture include the lean and lovely Isotta desk, a piece that pairs a kidney-shaped glass top with a brightly lacquered blue or yellow base which cleverly contains a three-drawer cabinet and CPU tower unit. The Vitra desk is another example of office furniture available at Design Centro.
The Vitra desk, made primarily of glass, cherry wood, and chrome, represents true innovation in design and construction. The desk provides storage as well as surface space for work and display, yet its unique design lends it an ethereal, weightless feel resulting in a refined quality.
Design Centro also offers the Le Corbusier table, originally designed in 1928. This classic table is durable, spare, and highly suitable for intensive use. Available in several sizes, the table is constructed with a base in black lacquer, chrome, or leather in a variety of colors. The top surface is scratch resistant granite offered in a wide selection of colors. Recommended for pairing with the Milan Leather Chair or the Milan Alta Dining Chair, the table is wonderfully versatile. Its status as a classic is well-deserved. Design Centro offers office chairs to suit various personal needs and styles as well as efficient and chic computer stands.

Design Centro’s showcase includes merchandise from numerous acclaimed designers, including Futura Italy. Proudly featured on the Design Centro Italia homepage is the Le Vele sofa bed from Futura, which the company also imports in a single cushion version, the Le Vele chair bed.
The Le Vele sofa bed represents a cutting-edge innovation in reclining sofas, ideal for discerning urban decorators desiring highly functional and adaptable furniture. The Le Vele sofa bed was designed with two reconfigurable that turn and rotate on a track. The back of each reclines at several different angles, and the chairs fold out into a variety of arrangements. This allows the Le Vele to function as a single bed, two chairs, or a pair of chaise lounges. Each chair individually rotates 360 degrees. Valued for both its space-conserving design and iconic appeal, the Le Vele sofa bed is known as the sofa with a thousand uses.
