Bob
Attractive and
functional, the Bob side
table completes every room with elegant simplicity. Designer Jean-Marie Massaud proposes
refined combinations of wood, leather, marble and steel for a free and
self-confident formal result inspired by a Kennedy-style international way of
life.
The Bob side tables have a steel base that is available in the gunmetal grey,
ruthenium, brushed burnished and Canaletto walnut finishes (that latter is only
available in the versions with top in leather or marble). The top is available
in Pelle Frau® leather, birch plywood with Canaletto walnut veneer, Emperador
marble or Calacatta gold marble (polished or semi-polished) (except for the ø
110 model). The upper part of leg always matches the finish of the table top.
In the variants with marble top the upper part of the leg is upholstered in
matching coloured leather.

Jean-Marie Massaud |
Born in
Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole
Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in
Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since
than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building
important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with
Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design
and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial
products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the
essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a
work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings
him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini,
Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore. His works have been awarded
several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design
collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London,
Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art
Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung,
Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The
Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
