- Support: painted steel tubular element carrying a metal frame closed by a matt black painted aluminium sheet
- Column base: marble matching the top, or steel dressed in Pelle Frau ColorSphere or Saddle Extra leather, with counterweights inside and a plastic cap at the foot to protect the floor
Specifications
- Overall size: 250 x 130 x 75 cm (5PF0059000001)
Story
An oval format for Mesa
The Mesa Ellipse comes from the philological study Poltrona Frau carries out on the Mesa project, using original sketches by Lella and Massimo Vignelli. It brings an elegant oval format to the sculptural table the pair designed.
Two elements
The table is an elliptical top set above a column. The marble top has a slender line that counterbalances the massive base, and the veins of the marble give each table its own character.
