Description
Round table with structure comprised of 4 legs in die-cast aluminium with painted or polished finishes, connected by a shelf. Top available in oak veneered plywood with solid edge thickness 15 mm or in white enamelled scratch resistant MDF. Shelf available in oak veneered plywood, thickness 15 mm or in white enamelled scratch resistant MDF.
A strong grasp of form and composition has given life to a collection of tables characterised by great flexibility in terms of shape, size and range of uses. The project derives from the idea of creating a broad and differentiated range of designs. The legs in die-cast aluminium are fixed both to a central base and to the table top forming a solid structure. The number of legs may vary as a function of the dimensions of the top, available in different shapes and finishes.
The biplane collection has many variants, just perfect for any environment. The square table, the round ones with tops in different diameters, the rectangular one and the little tables are available with tops in oak veneer or in MDF with white polyurethane lacquer.
The elegant elliptical versions complete the biplane collection: the 210x125 cm table which is perfect for dining room, the one with 330x130 cm top is ideals for office premises and meeting rooms and the little table with oval top 150x55 cm, height 39 cm is ideal for dining rooms. All the tops of these versions are available only in MDF with enameled polyurethane white finish, which is scratch resistance.
