Orbit Coffee Table

Overview

Orbit is a coffee table by Poliform, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, 2020. Poliform describes it as a simple and elegant jewel that combines ancient know-how with advanced production technology, and as a reinterpretation of glass, a technical material, through soft, curved lines.

Construction

Poliform says the round top is joined to the blown glass conical base by a special UV welding technology, leaving no visible joints. The technical list gives blown glass for the structure and glass for the top, and the table is available in two heights.

Specifications

• Size: Ø 480 x 460 mm (diameter x height)

• Top: glass
• Finish: glass 3051 bronzed

A technical material, softly curved

Poliform's text presents Orbit as a coffee table that reinterprets glass, a technical material, in a design built around soft, curved lines. It calls the result a simple and elegant jewel that joins ancient know-how with advanced production technology.

Welded without visible joints

The top and the conical blown glass base are welded with a special UV technology, with no visible joints. Poliform says that, available in two heights, Orbit is visually light and minimal while projecting a sculptural appearance, and that it creates a dialogue with settings from the most classic to the most contemporary. The design is credited to Jean-Marie Massaud, 2020.
