The decorations cover the three drawers and the upper body, completely covering the front and sides: pagodas, figures reclining in the shade of slender trees, together with birds, plant and fruit motifs. The interior is painted in emerald-green and decorated with gilt chinoiserie. The hinged desk top conceals four drawers and a central niche. The inner body has plenty of compartments to work as a bookcase, and more drawers. The lower part is distributed with three large drawers.

Pierre Lottier was an outstanding furniture designer and decorator, born in France but based in Barcelona, active from the post-war period onwards. Already in the sixties and seventies he had an important workshop, where important cabinetmakers of the new generation were trained. Lottier worked mainly on the decoration of important houses in the Catalan capital, although he also designed others outside the city, such as Ava Gardner’s house in Madrid.
