Mdf Italia Customizable TENSE Table by Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, Michele Cazzaniga

About the Item

Designed by Piergiorgio and Michele Cazzaniga in 2009, the Tense represents the archetypal table. Characterised by the consistency of its form and finishes, it is an icon of lightness and flexibility; thanks to its internal tension, it can also be extended to a total of 4 metres in length. Part of the MDF Italia collection, the Tense family is now available in 16 finishes, 5 heights and 36 sizes. For The Principle of Lightness Collection, the Tense has been reimagined in a hand polished aluminium finish and measures 100x240cm. TABLE The glossy brushed finish on the top is accomplished using specialised flat machine that uses motorised brush-style conveyor belts that polish the external surface and then manually resumed for the final finishing phase. The legs, on the other hand, are brushed and polished manually using specialised rotary machines and abrasive/polishing pastes. Once assembled, the table appears to have a mono-material finish, as if it were the result of a single aluminium casting. An interplay of light reflections give the table depth and beauty, enhancing its pure, simple shapes. Dimensions The Tense table is an icon of the MDF Italia collection, a project which develops and evolves in terms of its own tensity. Today Tense, together with Tense Material, comes in: • 5 heights (H35, H45, H73, H90, H110) • 31 sizes • 16 finishes • over 170 types • around 1500 variants • 1 thickness, only 35 mm Finishes Matt white, made of acrylic resin and rock minerals. Tabletop, edges and legs covered with a 3mm thick sheet of resin. Matt black and medium grey acrylic resin and fenix highpressure stratified laminate of the latest generation. Tabletop in stratified laminate with mass colouration; edges and legs in acrylic resin and rock minerals. Top-access The tables are also available in the version equipped with 1 or 2 top-access and under top cable try. The metal cable trays are telescopic (H7/H10 cm), to host various wiring systems, such multi-scoket boxes, etc. wiring systems and electrical parts are not included. The top-access is made of aluminium (L350 P127 mm) in three versions: • single lead with soft closing (A version) • double lead (B version) • optional, single lead with soft closing, with inlay in the same finish of the table (C version).

    NVL 130X250 VERDE INGLESE LUC. H074 GLOSSY ENGLISH GREEN LACQUERED A table with contemporary lines and characterized by a strong personality. The distinctive features of Jean Nouvel’s architecture are fully manifested in this table and enhance the stylistic elements that have always distinguished his work: pure geometric shapes, formal lightness, graphic lines, rigour. The simplicity of the shapes harmoniously dialogues with the solidity of the material and plays with contrasts: the tabletop appears thin and light and seems floating above the base. The central support is composed of two volumes that thin upwards and create two symmetrical bases that support the top, thus recalling the principle of trilith, a structure consisting of two vertical elements supporting a third element set horizontally across the top.
