Description
Overview
The 2013 Gipsy coffee table by Antonio Citterio uses square legs that join a solid-wood support frame. Four official formats range from a compact 40 cm table to a low 120 cm square.
Construction
Three solid timbers are published for the base: ash, oak and Canaletto walnut. Glossy lacquered wood forms the top, with marble also available for the listed coffee-table codes.
Specifications
Representative code: 020174. Dimensions: 120 × 120 × 35 cm. The drawing page contains four small-table codes.
Story
Geometry through joinery
The coffee table's visual identity comes from square supports meeting the lower frame, creating nested rectangular outlines beneath the top. Flexform uses that construction to emphasize the texture of solid timber.
Four changing proportions
The range moves from tall compact squares to broad low tables. The representative 120-centimetre square places the lacquer or stone surface over the widest and lowest configuration.
