Story
From console to table
Cassina presents Antella as a multi-functional piece for changing spatial needs. With the leaves closed, the furniture reads as a console secured against the wall by a magnet; with the leaves open, it forms a large oval table.
A lacquered surface
The product page connects the polyester painted frame and its gloss or matte finish with the ancient art of lacquer work, and places the design among the SimonCollezione context.
