Description
Overview
Antonio Citterio's 2009 Fly coffee table combines a metal base with round, oval, square or rectangular tops. The official range moves from compact side tables to expansive low surfaces.
Construction
Solid timber, glossy lacquer and marble top programmes are paired with six metal finishes. Thermoplastic tips support the base. The official sheet assigns material restrictions to specific article codes.
Specifications
Representative code: 014X50. Dimensions: 80 × 80 × 47 cm. The coffee-table sheet illustrates twelve codes across two drawing pages.
Story
Practical variety
Flexform positions Fly as an expression of the practical, versatile design approach behind its collection. For the coffee-table range, that idea appears through multiple heights, footprints and surface programmes rather than through decorative additions.
A recurring support
The metal base provides continuity while the top changes scale and geometry. Here the emphasis remains on Fly's low and compact occasional formats.
