475 Boboli
The Boboli table is
characterised by its geometrically ordered lines, where the structural
challenge facing Cassina was to ensure the stability of the slim-line twisted
uprights that form the base. These uprights, both load-bearing and decorative,
pay homage to the canons of the classical Italian garden, where plants were
often trained vertically. The sinuous form of these aluminium legs confer a
sculptural look to the design, where rigour and imagination come together to
challenge the limits and the very nature of the material from which they are
made. After several updates and revisitations, Cassina presented the latest
iteration of the Boboli table in 2016, further improving its stability and
resistance by fixing the table-top to the base. Exquisitely constructed, the
Boboli collection of tables has been further enhanced with new painted
aluminium finishes in matte black, dark gold chrome, gunmetal grey, mud.
