Coffee Table SASSO Orange POLTRONA FRAU

The Sasso coffee table from Poltrona Frau, designed in 2012 by the Italian designer Paola Navone, is a piece of understated and timeless elegance. Its name, which means ‘stone’ in Italian, says it all about its character: solid, essential, rooted in its material. Light in form yet assertive in presence, the Sasso draws on archetypal and primitive forms to blend naturally into any contemporary interior. Its steel frame, finished in anthracite grey, gives it a graphic yet understated silhouette, which recedes into the background of the space whilst asserting its own identity. Versatile, it works equally well as a coffee table in the living room or as a bedside table, either on its own or in a group to create modular arrangements. Behind the Sasso lies the unique vision of Paola Navone, an architect and designer born in Turin in 1950, trained at the Politecnico di Torino and a pioneer of the Radical Design movement alongside Alessandro Mendini and Ettore Sottsass. A tireless traveller and artistic director for leading Italian and international fashion houses, Navone blends artisanal influences, world cultures and contemporary sensibilities in each of her creations. Her free-spirited and eclectic vision is fully dedicated to the excellence of Poltrona Frau.
