The separation of the two parts is highlighted by the four intermediate supports that serve both as level adjusters and as spacers between the mass of the support and the slender lines of the top. Specifically, the base was designed in 1928, taking its cue from the oval profiles used in the aeronautical sector to separate the wings of biplanes. The current model has a steel base painted in the Le Corbusier palette of colours, while the top comes in clear glass, textured glass, or in luxurious Bianco Carrara or Nero Marquinia marble.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.
