ZANOTTA coffee table ARABESCO CM (Natural - Bent plywood and extra-clear crystal)

Zanotta Arabesco CM is a coffee table with homage to Carlo Mollino (year of design 1949). Sinuosity of lines and lightness of the structure in a game of curves and counter-curves, elegant and dreamy. Arabesco is one of the most celebrated products of the Italian Design and it is born from a four-handed work in the laboratories of carpentry: "from Mollino sketch, the drawings were created in the 1:1 natural scale and then the model". In one of these drawings Mollino wrote "hole to be traced in curved wood" in order to remove mass and lighten visually the object. The result is accuracy and fluidity, in a balance between the curved and caved shapes of the structure, and the transparence of the glass in a balance between the solid and carved shapes, and the transparency of the crystal tops fixed by the metal pawl that echoes the original design.

Bent plywood frame veneered with natural or black varnished oak; wax-finished varnish. The frame is attached to the top with aninternally threaded screw. Top shelf in 10-mm thick tempered plate glass; bottom shelf in 8-mm thick tempered plate glass, both either extra-clear,matching the frames in natural oak or in smoky grey plate glass, matching the black varnished oak frame.
