A beautifully proportioned coffee table, produced by Artemide from a time when they produced furniture alongside their classic offering of lighting. An adjustable table style that saw a range of colour and sizes, all created in ABS plastic, the main adjustable factor being the legs, which can attach a number of ways to each top.

This example, seen with a single tubular central support, is quite a rare configuration, with the majority of tables produced using 4 independent legs on each corner. This central support makes this version rather special, especially in the local market.

A solid construction that has survived over 50 years, and is well ready for another 50, the thick plastic and bolted connections are miles apart from the more flimsy plastic furniture of today.
