Edison is a table with tempered float glass top and painted steel structure designed by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, it represents a perfect example of the redesign concept.‎Vico Magistretti always said that "design is like keeping a diary”, “a kind of autobiography” and only developed projects that he could imagine in his own home.‎ It is therefore no surprise that the first photos of the Edison table in the Cassina catalogues were taken in the dining room of the Milanese architect's home.‎Edison is a perfect example of Vico Magistretti’s redesign concept, a method that the architect often implemented to identify daily or technical elements as a source to create an original design.‎ Magistretti said that "one of the most elegant systems to connect four steel pipes is the one used in gas plants, with a simple cross-shaped joint in cast iron.‎” And so, in the mid-1980s, the table with a name inspired by the historic Milanese gas company Edison was born.‎Cassina has carried out work to reissue this piece with the utmost respect for authenticity in collaboration with the Vico Magistretti Foundation.‎ Together it was decided to update the measurements and use more modern materials to make the reissue more contemporary.‎ The choice to present only the glass top enhances the profile of the base, now available in steel painted matt black or becco d’oca (a tone of orange dear to Magistretti), highlighting the characteristic cross-shaped joint that connects the counter-curvatures of the underlying structure.‎Edison is available as a square, rectangular or circular table.‎Materials: steel structure painted matt black or matt becco d’oca (orange); top support in painted matt black or matt becco d’oca (orange) turned steel; 15mm thick tempered float glass top; aesthetic joints in cast aluminium painted matt black or matt becco d’oca (orange).‎
