Description
Overview
Diesis is a series of small tables designed by Antonio Citterio and Paolo Nava in 1979. It is an evergreen like the sofa, whose die-cast aluminium supports inspire the table supports. Three marble versions are impressive even in size, and a lighter version has two tops, one in transparent ground glass and the other covered with leather.
Construction
Marble tops have three finishes: natural, matt polyester and glossy polyester. The glass-topped version has a lower shelf in multi-layered wood panel with a leather cover. The support frame and feet are die-cast aluminium and tubular steel, and the ferrules are plastic material.
Specifications
Marble finishes: natural, matt polyester, glossy polyester. Glass-topped version: transparent ground glass top with a leather-covered shelf.
