Story
Nesting trio
Cassina's page presents Marcel T as a triptych of stackable low tables in chrome-plated tubular steel, a material it calls distinctive to many projects by the Japanese maestro Takahama. They can be placed crosswise as side tables, living room tables or in the study area.
Takahama, 1974
The designer line on the W60 sheet carries 1974; the page shows 1974 under production year. The sheet lists 2013 separately as the year of Cassina's production.
