The base is made of three square-section legs that cross at right angles and lock into each other; the sheet says the joints are carved directly into the solid wood. The top is wood, clear or smoked glass, or marble.

Wood and a simple base
The page headline for the table is "The essence of wood". The sheet puts it as a table that turns the warmth and essence of wood into beauty, with a base that is simple yet sculptural.

Craft in the joints
According to the sheet, the three elements of the base are held by joints carved from the solid wood, which it credits to Cassina's carpentry craftsmanship, where technical quality is balanced with aesthetic refinement.
