It's been years now since fashion design brands have entered the furniture business-and the results keep getting better, as proven by the Jolie Desk by Armani Casa.

Fashioned of dark elm wood and green leather, Jolie features a sinuous shape and detailed construction. Besides its convenient duo of drawers, Jolie Desk comes with leather pockets on both sides, a practical way to keep papers and magazines at hand. Visible stitching pays tribute to Armani's traditional leatherwork. Jolie Desk is made in Italy, despite its French name.

The spirit of Jolie Desk is cosmopolitan and refined, a piece suited to libraries and foyers-but beautiful anywhere. For more information, visit www.armanicasa.com.
