Kyoto Solid Wood Rectangular Coffee Table Natural Beech Finish

About the Item

Understated and refined, the Kyoto table by architect and designer Gianfranco Frattini is the perfect blend of design vision and master craftsmanship. In the early 70s, during a trip to Japan to study the work of the local craftsmen, Gianfranco Frattini visited the craft workshops of Kyoto together with expert carpenter Pierluigi Ghianda, who would become his friend and collaborator. Inspired by the processing techniques and aesthetics of the area, the designer conceived the idea of a joint that would form the basis of the table of the same name. Production began in 1974 and Kyoto immediately became synonymous with a concept of understatement which, as in the best Italian design tradition, combines a brilliant idea with impeccable execution. In the Kyoto table the concept of construction becomes the object itself. The absence of decorative elements exalts the beauty of the raw material - the Canaletto walnut inserts have a precise strengthening function - requiring great technical ability and care as well as an in-depth knowledge of the material. Revisited by Poltrona Frau with utmost respect for the original project, the Kyoto table reflects the skills and expertise of a new wave of artisans, heirs to the rich Italian wood crafting tradition, and stands alongside Albero and Turner as an example of high-end craftsmanship. The Kyoto rectangular table, in natural beech finish, is 102 cm (40.25'') x 50 cm (19.75'') and has a height of 32 cm (12.5''). The surface and legs are in Extra light solid beech wood with solid Canaletto walnut inserts at the end of the boards that make up the top. The wooden boards are connected with 45° joints that form a square pattern. Slide-off counterpoise legs can be positioned as desired. All surfaces are treated with a protective transparent varnish. The Poltrona Frau logo and the designer’s signature are laser engraved on one of the faces of the leg supports.
