Almost every item in Aston Martin’s new office furniture collection “looks like it’s doing 150 mph just sitting there.” You’ll find a touch of fine automotive craftsmanship in every detail, from the aniline leather of the chairs to the desk made from a single folded sheet of aluminum. “Sure, the desk’s slanted sides are going to encourage things to roll off the edge.” But if you can afford the desk, “you can probably also afford to have multiple assistants on hand” for tidying up.
$26,300 for desk and chair, www.formitalia.it
