its structure, lacquered in an anthracite gray with bluish undertones, features wide legs and carefully rounded corners, supporting a framed smoked glass top. This distinctive shade, somewhere between black and blue-gray, lends it a depth and elegance that classic black versions lack.

gianfranco frattini is one of the leading figures of post-war italian design. A graduate in architecture from milan in 1953, he collaborated with gio ponti and major italian design houses such as cassina, knoll, and artemide. His tables for cassina are now part of the permanent collections of the moma in new york and the cooper hewitt in washington, d.c., and are regularly traded on major online marketplaces.

in a contemporary or mid-century living room, it makes a statement with understated elegance and undeniable character.
