Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina, round coffee table, walnut, glass, Italy, 1950s

Beautiful coffee table in glass and walnut by Italian designer Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina. This table has an interesting design. A round top in glass exposes the round construction that lifts it up and rests on a walnut top. Here, the striking grain of the walnut is highlighting the surface.

Gianfranco Frattini (1926-2004) was born in Padua and studied architecture at the Milan Politechnico. After his studies, Frattini started working for Gio Ponti until 1956. Afterwards, he opened his own practice in Milan and began creating his own designs. His work is mostly part of the generation that created the Italian design movement of the late 1950s through the 1960s. The designer eventually died in Milan in 2004.
