Overview
Desco Coffee Table is a 2022 Antonio Citterio design. The low version places a broad rounded top over a braced solid-wood base, ending each turned leg with a contrasting cast-aluminum tip.
Construction
The low frame uses the published selection of three solid timbers. Tops are offered in corresponding veneers or marble. Six metal finishes are published for the feet, which rest on thermoplastic tips.
Specifications
Representative code: 02A264. Dimensions: 110 × 110 × 39 cm. Rectangular 170 and 210 cm versions are also shown.
Story
A low, braced frame
The coffee-table version of Desco translates turned legs into a low structure connected by horizontal rails. The broad top keeps rounded corners, while cast-aluminum ends make the foot detail visible at each support.
Two base groups
The technical sheet separates Canaletto-walnut or oak-base codes from ash-base codes. Both groups cover a compact square-like plan and two elongated sizes, allowing the timber programme to follow the selected top scale.
