The system of primary and secondary oval beams that supports the top of this table, ideal for a modern living room, draws upon the ritual reconstruction of japanese shrines to define an elegant piece of furniture with far-eastern fascination. Supported by a solid wood base, the rectangular or round top is available in extra-clear glass, smoked glass or marble. Base in solid wood: canaletto walnut, natural oak or oak stained black. Top transparent extra-clear or smoked glass, or marble: white carrara, grigio carnico, verde alpi, rosso levanto, calacatta gold, or nero marquina, with matt finish. Inspired by asian influences ‒ a theme that often recurs in the cassina collections ‒ and especially by the ritual reconstruction of japanese shrines through the use of different materials, like the other pieces in the sengu family, the sengu coffee table, designed by patricia urquiola, is envisioned as an exquisitely layered and sophisticated home architecture. The base, crafted with a grid of primary and secondary oval solid wood beams, echoes the shapes found in the sengu sofa base in both the table with rectangular top in two sizes, and the new round version, available in two diameters to meet different space requirements. For the entire family of low tables, the tops come in extra-clear glass or anthracite colour smoked glass, or in six different types of marble: carrara, grigio carnico, calacatta gold, verde alpi, nero marquina and rosso levanto.
