Macao: design and functionality for the contemporary office

The contemporary office is increasingly becoming a fluid environment, capable of combining practical needs, comfort and aesthetic appeal. In this context, furniture takes on a key role in shaping the space: desks, bookcases and storage systems are not merely functional elements, but contribute to defining the identity and atmosphere of the environment.

The Macao collection by Cantori, designed by Maurizio Manzoni, interprets this evolution through a furniture system in which function and aesthetics meet in a balanced, contemporary harmony. The desk and bookcase interact as parts of a single design concept, creating a coherent and sophisticated environment that adapts equally well to professional settings and home interiors dedicated to work.

The Macao Desk: elegance, functionality and customisation

The Macao desk defines the workspace through an essential design characterised by a balance of geometries, materials and crafted details. The worktop introduces a tactile, material quality that enhances the working surface and contributes to a sophisticated atmosphere, while the angled drawers are designed for immediate access and help keep the workspace organised, seamlessly integrating storage into the structure.

The T-shaped metal supporting structure holds the wooden top and drawer unit, creating a visually light composition distinguished by constructional precision and solidity. The result is a designer desk designed to blend naturally into a variety of settings, from executive offices and professional studios to home offices, where the quality of the furniture becomes an integral part of the overall experience of the space.

One of Macao’s distinctive features is the possibility of customising its dimensions, configurations and finishes, allowing the desk to adapt to the characteristics of the environment and specific design requirements. Customisation extends across all components of the desk: the worktop, structure, top, as well as the top and drawer-unit edges, can be defined through a selection of finishes and upholstery options, making it possible to create coordinated combinations or contrasting material and colour effects.

This freedom of composition allows each configuration to be interpreted in a personal way while preserving the collection’s distinctive identity. Macao can therefore interact with different architectural settings, materials and colour palettes, becoming a furniture solution capable of adapting to contemporary projects with different styles, dimensions and functions.
