Produced in France for Attro, the table exemplifies Sauze’s distinctive approach to modernist furniture—where structure becomes visual poetry.

The table features a precisely engineered iron wire frame, forming a cube-like architectural volume that appears simultaneously graphic and weightless. A clear glass top floats above the open framework, enhancing the sense of lightness while allowing the underlying geometry to remain fully visible. The interplay of negative space and linear form gives the piece its enduring visual tension and refined presence.

Compact yet impactful, this table functions beautifully as a side table, occasional table, or sculptural accent, equally at home in minimalist, mid-century modern, or curated contemporary interiors. Its clarity of form and exceptional construction place it firmly within the canon of collectible French postwar design.
