Accompanied by a handwritten certificate of authenticity.

The table takes the form of a four-legged base draped in a flowing cloth, achieved through Cecchi's signature technique of immersing cotton fabric in resin to capture the drape mid-fall. The result is a striking illusion of suspended weightlessness — furniture conceived as sculpture.

A graduate of the University of Florence and founder of Studio Most, Cecchi remains a singular figure in Italian design, known for bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces created as an artist-designer rather than for industrial production. His works are held in major museum collections internationally. See less
