The Bull table communicates the immediate impression of a very object thanks to the legs with an ample round section, which although slightly inclined seem to be solidly “planted in the ground”, and in contrast a slim top that seems simply to be resting lightly on the frame. Available in two sizes, Bull can be entirely in oak wood or with an oak structure and top in marble.
Concept
«As its name expresses, Bull is a table with 4 toned legs that stand firm on the ground. I designed this very firm looking table together with an elegant chair as a pair. Together they look if they were truly “The Beauty and the Beast”. The beast, after all, is a great looking table.»
