Stunning ‘Kono’ coffee table designed by Lella and Massino Vignelli and manufactured by Casigliani, Italy 1979.
The table was designed in July 1979 at a meeting between Massimo Vignelli and Casigliani in his New York City studio. The story goes that upon his return to Italy the next week, Casigliani had the table already made a prototype, and Massimo Vignelli had approved the the first version and photographs in less than two weeks after the initial draft.
The geometric shapes and a beautiful combination of different materials gives the design an interesting appeal. The balanced design, with a striking combination of materials and shapes. The oxidized copper combines very well with the travertine rectangle and fogged glass top, which allow a vague silhouet of the shapes to come through in an elegant way. A stunning and beautiful piece of modern Italian design that would elevate any seating area!
