Story
Lightness and solidity
Cassina's text for the table is built on a double reading, how light it looks and how solid it is. The rectangular top is described as a mere 10 mm, and the smoked oak version is treated with high heat so the wood becomes harder, more compact and resistant to damp.
Year
Piero Lissoni's design is dated 2009 on the page and the sheet.
