The diagonal orientation of the legs is intended to maximize strength while the geometric design draws attention to the edge of the table. This relationship creates an illusion that changes depending on the angle of view: the leg appears sleek and slender and yet massive. Crafted primarily of aluminum, the physicality and finish of the legs changes to accentuate this interaction between color and contrast.”About Manufacture:Established in 1927 by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda, Italy, Cassina launched industrial design in Italy in the 1950s, based on a totally innovative approach that marked the transition from artisan production to mass production. With a mindset focused on research and innovation, Cassina combines technology and long-standing artisan craftsmanship.
