One of the things that impressed us most of Bottega Veneta in recent years was the addition of their home collection, which is always a great pleasure for the eye. Now, with the colder months in sight, their new fuss-free design leather desk is a perfect addition to any study. The size is just right and the leather details are fantastic and timeless.
The unambiguous shaped desk has room for three drawers placed under the tabletop. Each of these drawers can be pulled out with flat leather handles. One can move this desk around by simply pulling the stiff leather handles fitted to both sides of the desk. Every inch of this desk is made of leather except for the matte metal trimmings. This masculine yet chic desk comes in five shades and retails for $19,700 at Bottega Veneta Store.

Designed by Dutchman Henk van de Meene, the HENK suitcase is made up from red Italian burl, black ebony, horse hair, magnesium, aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, parachute fabric and is dressed in supreme quality leather.
The carbon-fiber exterior is very similar to the cockpit of a Formula 1 racecar. !
The suitcase has been designed in such a manner that when dragged it is practically weightless. Even when it is fully loaded a pressure of just 25 grams is exerted on ones fingers.
