The base is conceived as a true wooden architecture, built through the combined use of different woods: solid walnut, multilayer beech and ebony, used in minimal quantity to create a sharp chromatic contrast and enhance the perception of the volumes. Each material is employed according to a precise functional and visual logic, where weight, color and structural role contribute to the overall composition.

The supporting structure is formed by two vertical elements that generate an orthogonal system upon which the entire project develops. The components are assembled using exposed wooden dowels and metal pins, making the construction principle clearly legible and reinforcing the technical identity of the table.

The thick transparent glass top rests on dedicated supports and leaves the underlying structure fully visible, emphasizing the relationship between structure and space while visually lightening an object of strong presence.

Condition: Excellent overall condition, minor signs on the wooden structure.
