Created by Piero Lissoni, these
cylindrical and modular tables have been designed for the corporate or
hospitality environments. Available in either standard or coffee-table heights,
with round tops in various size options, these accessories evince a soft-spoken
elegance, and come in a range of materials that chime beautifully with the
finishes available on Cassina’s other pieces. The simple lines, appropriate to
many settings, are set off by the quality of the materials used. These include
solid ashwood, and four types of marble. The glass tops, meanwhile, also come
in numerous colour options.
