METAFORA coffee table by Casigliani, designed by Lella & Massimo Vignelli, Italy, 1979.The four Euclidean geometric shapes—cube, cylinder, sphere, and pyramid—each made of different materials, form the base of the table, which is topped by a large transparent glass tabletop.
These four independent elements can be arranged freely without altering the table’s identity, regardless of their configuration.
The four geometric shapes are crafted from distinct materials: the pyramid from white Carrara marble, the cube from black marble, the cylinder from travertine, and the sphere from Rasotica marble.
