Story
Painted steel in neutral or shiny tones
The page presents the Frank small tables as painted steel pieces that go with any sofa, in shades ranging from neutral to shiny. The top is glossy painted steel and the frame is made of matt painted steel profiles, so each table pairs a shiny surface with a matt structure.
A base that slips close to the seat
The vertical elements are placed asymmetrically, which lets the base be drawn as close as possible to the seats. The drawing shows a round top and a round plan, 35 cm across.
