Story
An emblem of the Ultrarazionale
Cassina's text says that in the late 1960s this sculpture-like table became the emblem of the "Ultrarazionale" movement, which shrugged off the restraints imposed by the Rationalists and aimed to re-embrace traditional aesthetic values.
Revisited with new materials
The sheet says the table has been revisited with new textures and materials, while the mechanism linking top to base remains visible from above through the glass top.
