A taste of Italy in Naomi Ōsaka’s executive office

Naomi Ōsaka, the record-breaking Japanese professional tennis player, chose the Jera Italian executive desk by LAS Mobili for her office in California.

After being selected as “Newcomer of the Year” by the Women’s Tennis Association in 2016, Naomi Ōsaka won her first WTA tour in 2018. She became the world’s No. 1 ranked player in women’s tennis following her Grand Slam wins at the 2018 U.S. Open and the 2019 Australian Open. She also was the first Asian player to reach this top ranking.
Her serve was clocked at 125 miles (201 km) per hour, one of the fastest serves ever recorded in the women’s game. She was the 16th woman to have won four Grand Slam singles championships.

La Mercanti sales team worked with Deborah Haylock, Business Manager at Savitsky, Satin, Bacon & Bucci, to find the best options and finishes to match Naomi’s office and arrange delivery and installation.

The colour combination they chose is the brown ash wooden finish and grey faux leather. The contrast between the dark thick top and the bottom panels upholstered in light grey makes the office look elegant and impressive at the same time.
The L-shape desk includes a monolithic return on the right side with a wide storage space equipped with two doors and two drawers. Moreover, we added a black rectangular grommet for wire management and a grey faux leather insert on the desktop to match the open modesty panel and legs.

The Jera collection is characterized by thick and impressive surfaces, alternating different volumes and materials. The desktop comes in a lot of finishes: grey elm, brown ash and bali walnut that can be combined with two different faux leather options namely anthracite and grey.
The characteristic design of the Jera executive office desk brings out the impressiveness of straight and thick shapes. This collection, composed of desks, meeting and coffee tables, wall modular cabinets, sofas, executive and meeting chairs, is the best option for modern executive offices and dynamic environments.

La Mercanti was delighted to furnish Naomi Ōsaka’s office!
