Description

This Cocktail Table Attraverso, model 784, designed by Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina in 1968, is an exceptional example of mid-century Italian design. It's large, rectangular table boasts a striking geometric aesthetic, defined by clean, bold lines and meticulous craftsmanship. The standout feature of the Attraverso table is its sculptural base, composed of slanted, interlocking elements that create a visually dynamic and architectural form. The tabletop, made of thick glass, offers a beautiful contrast to the solid wood structure, enhancing the interplay between lightness and solidity.

Gianfranco Frattini, an influential Italian architect and designer, was known for his refined approach to modern design. He often worked with traditional materials such as wood, merging craftsmanship with innovative forms. Frattini was a key figure in post-war Italian design and frequently collaborated with Cassina, one of Italy's leading furniture manufacturers. His work, like the Attraverso table, exemplifies the harmony between artisanal craftsmanship and modernist principles, making his designs timeless and highly collectible today.
