gleaming WITH elemental purity
Emblematic of the rigorous designs of Gianfranco Frattini, the Gong side table reemerges with his quintessential grace and flair of form, now in diverse heights and diameters — a family of proportions for sculptures, plants, and other decor. In a muted brushed finish of brass or gunmetal, the metals present a new emphasis on materiality, with a column in the same color or contrasting in brass, and a tabletop and base in iron. Small tables in different heights and sizes, suitable for accommodating various objects.
Gianfranco Frattini was born in Padua in 1926. He graduated with a degree in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1953. Frattini opened his own professional practice in Milan, after having worked in the office of his teacher and mentor Gio Ponti. In 1956 he co-founded ADI – Associazione per il Disegno Industriale – and throughout his career he practised both industrial design and architecture, focusing mostly on interiors. He was a board member of the Triennale di Milano. Great connoisseur of wood craftsmanship, he forged a long and fruitful professional partnership with the master craftsman Pierluigi Ghianda.
The side tables are entirely painted in gunmetal or an orbital bronze matt finish. The stand is in brushed brass for the two-colored version and sharply contrasts with the two finishes. Orbital bronze: hand-brushed handcrafted finish to create the “scratched” effect.
