Cassina 815 Olimpino Table - L. 240 cm Matt Black / Clear Float Glass

Description

815 Olimpino is a table designed by Ico Parisi in 1955 and returned to production with Cassina. Made with monolithic tempered glass top in different finishes and square section metal structure with wooden details. Ico Parisi has always been at the center of a home's project, placing the accent on the table, with ever-changing materials and new configurations. On the Olimpino table, he contrasts the two material elements: glass and metal, in a bold final effect. The metal structure consisting of two pairs of "Y" shaped uprights, whose upper inner arms converge to join under the top, while the outer arms diverge to block the rectangular plate of the top, in monolithic tempered glass, with a brass side stopper. The legs, thus paired, are strengthened with a double crossbar, also in metal, which opens near the sides and forms a double "V" shape. The arrow feet, in solid wood, embellish the design, as do the large brass screws. Domenico Parisi, nicknamed Ico, was born in Palermo in September 1916 to Sicilian parents who were living in Como. Parisi's work became more and more prolific from the 1950s, he designed furniture, firstly unique pieces with craftsmen from Brianza and later for industrial production with companies such as Cassina. In this version: Clear glass top, matt black metal structure with Canaletto walnut feet, and brass side stopper.
