The table is the piece of furniture around which we focus our lives. From meals with family or friends, to moments of study or work, our most important goals and happy events are – almost always – gathered around a table.
So why not celebrate it with our selection of 10 design pieces?
More or less formal according to the needs and preferences of each one, the following tables are all linked by a single common denominator: the impeccable and timeless design … and the ease of imagining ourselves gathered around them to celebrate personal and / or professional successes with those we love.
The proposals identified are suitable for those who want to live immersed in a convivial atmosphere, where the moments of the day are not clearly separated from each other, but coexist in products that combine work and relaxation.
The table – whether dining or meeting, large or small, round or rectangular – perfectly represents the link between the operative spheres of contemporary design: the warmth of the dining area and the rigor of the meeting area coexist in perfect continuum with each other.
The organic table
Infinito∞ by Poltrona Frau
A one-of-a-kind piece, like the material from which it is made, signed by Roberto Lazzeroni and Poltrona Frau. The Infinito∞ table is more of a piece of art than a design product, epitome of true contemporary luxury, and is manufactured in a very limited edition of numbered and signed copies.
Luxury flexibility
antella by Cassina

Function follows form
Platner by Knoll
The Platner table has a unique and interesting design that is both attractive and elegant.

The novelty with the icon character
Allure 'o by B&B Italia

Sculpture yet furniture

Sleek beauty
tavolo '95 by de padova
Table ’95 is a design icon signed by Achille Castiglioni. The construction details are hidden from view and, thanks to small thin brackets retracted with respect to the outer edge, the top – available in marble or wood – seems to float suspended on the 3-legged base.
The geometric table
pangea by baxter
