Mettsass Table by Barcelona Design

Mettsass Table by Barcelona DesignOne of Sottsass first designs for BD, the "Mettsass" has lost none of the personality with which Sottsass designed it for BD some 40 years ago, in 1972. Ettore Sottsass' designs try to fulfil their primary function well, in this case, it's a dining table, but also loaded with functions that are not obviously utilitarian, related to memory, emotion and magic. The table's glass top can be tinted the same colour as the base, and extra weight can be added to the central support to improve stability if necessary. The original finish was flocked. The piece was reissued in 2012.
