The rippling waves of the Venetian waters surface in the extra-clear glass table top. In a tribute to the ancient glass art, the reflections of the waves are captured through a new complex type of workmanship. The sheet is sand blasted to bring a matte finish to the glass and then fired again – a process that allows the creation of the distinctive appearance of the top, lending it texture and movement. The refinement of the glass is further enhanced by the bevelling – a perimeter edging that thins the contours and forms a transparent crystaline frame – a sophisticated detail that contrasts with the central part of the table. Available in two sizes, Doge Laguna retains its iconic sculptural steel base that highlights the architectural character of the table.Important information regarding images of products:Please note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only to present interior design proposals.
