The 4894 model was created as a single-piece molded plastic coffee table, part of Kartell's research into lightweight, durable furniture suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Gae Aulenti, who in those years explored essential forms and full volumes, created an object that was both functional and sculptural.

Monolithic structure: a single piece without joints, providing visual continuity and great sturdiness.

Rectangular top with rounded corners: soft, edge-free, typical of 1970s pop design.

Legs integrated into the corners: not attached, but fused into the shape, creating a compact and harmonious profile.

Low and stable proportions: designed as a coffee table.

Lightweight, glossy plastic.
