This iconic square coffee table, model 784, was designed by renowned Italian architect and designer Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina in the late 1960s, becoming a representative piece of space-age and modernist Italian design of the 1970s. This specific version is the largest and most impressive of the series, with generous dimensions of 130 x 130 cm, ideal for large contemporary living rooms or elegant waiting areas. The design stands out for its minimalist, geometric structure in chromed tubular steel, characterized by clean lines that intersect at the center to elegantly support the square top in heavy, clear, cut glass. The transparency of the glass allows the metallic architecture of the base to be fully appreciated, creating a perfect balance between visual structural solidity and formal lightness. A very high-level piece of Mid-Century / Space Age Italian design, extensively documented in the literature (see G. Gramigna, Repertorio del design italiano 1950-2000). I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
