390 Lebeau Wood
- Description
- Designer Bio
Lebeau Wood is an evolution of
the iconic and innovative Lebeau table. While the original’s dimensions and
outline are maintained, solid wood becomes the material of choice for the
base. Employing six hours, the intricate construction process harnesses
the skills of Cassina’s carpenters, who oversee every stage of the process, to
the potential provided by the latest and most innovative machinery. The base,
on which sits the table-top, is composed of 22 staves derived from solid curved
ashwood, slotted into two “crowns”, at top and bottom. The outcome? A stunning
table, its personality rejuvenated, a veritable symbol of the extraordinary
design and manufacturing excellence of Cassina’s craftsmen.
