Description
Overview
Carlo Colombo designed Gustav in 2018. The occasional table presents a simple circular or oval outline while the leg-to-top junction contains the detailed construction highlighted by Flexform.
Construction
Three timbers are specified for the solid frame: Canaletto walnut, ash and oak. The top is offered in Flexform's named polished and matt marbles, with thermoplastic pads below.
Specifications
Representative code: 024977. Dimensions: 125 × 120 × 35 cm. The sheet illustrates six codes across ash and Canaletto walnut or oak groups.
Story
Simplicity over construction
Flexform describes Gustav through purity and function, noting that the leg inserts into the top while complex construction remains visually quiet. The junction, rather than added ornament, becomes the project's distinguishing detail.
Two structural groups
The technical page pairs three ashwood codes with three equivalents for Canaletto walnut or oak. The footprints correspond, while small differences in labelled depth reflect the timber group.
