Description
Overview
Giano is a 2015 coffee table by Antonio Citterio. Its low rectangular form is framed by solid-wood supports that flare outward beneath the surface.
Construction
The frame is available in Canaletto walnut, ash or oak. A matching solid-wood top continues the material, while the marble programme creates a contrasting surface.
Specifications
Representative code: 022570. Dimensions: 130 × 80 × 38 cm. A larger 170 × 100 cm version appears beside it in the sheet. Both official rectangular formats share the same 38 cm height.
Story
Cabinetmaking in the base
Flexform connects Giano to cabinetmaking tradition and makes the support the main expressive element. The outward movement of the solid members lightens the outline despite the table's substantial timber structure.
Continuity or contrast
A solid-wood top produces a continuous composition, while the marble option separates surface from base. Both paths retain the same low stance and flared geometry.
