Story
A signature design by Giulio Cappellini
Cappellini calls Gong a signature design by Giulio Cappellini. The product sheet describes it as a minimalist coffee table made of two laser-cut metal discs joined by a central stem.
Two sizes, one lacquer
The table is made in two sizes, drawn on the sheet as GG_2 and GG_1. Each is lacquered matt in a single colour for base, stem and top, and the sheet states that colour combinations between the parts are not available.
