Most executive desks are born with a fixed geometry: you buy the left-hand version and hope the office never changes. Planeta by DVO Office is built the other way, as a modern desk should be. The desktop — 180 or 200 centimetres — mounts on the service unit in three different positions, declared in the technical sheet as three assembling solutions, and the unit itself comes right- or left-handed in two depths. The same two pieces produce compositions from 180 to 247.5 centimetres: the layout is a decision you take at assembly, and can take again.
For a UK office that moves, merges and re-plans, that flexibility is the quiet argument: the desk follows the floor plan instead of dictating it. Around it, the collection adds meeting tables, desks for compositions and universal storage, so the executive floor grows from one catalogue rather than five suppliers. La Mercanti specifies the right composition — position, depth, modesty panel — before the order, so what arrives is the geometry the room actually needs.
