Story
Between classic and contemporary
Cassina presents the table as a rectangular solid-wood piece that symbolizes the balance between classic and contemporary, designed by the Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1905.
The opening mechanism
The page singles out the mechanism under the top: a small board in the middle of the longest side releases the upper top, and one or both of the underlying extensions can then be pulled out.
