DESCRIPTION

Giuseppe Pilla designed Andrea out of a practical necessity to make a dining table for his son – hence the name – to put in his new home, where the available space was insufficient to have a particularly large table top. A “fratino” (convent style) table was therefore decided on – a long, narrow table or desk, ideal for furnishing that unavoidably confined new “dining cum living” room which is so popular nowadays.

“Compared to a round table and wall-mounted solutions, the overriding aspect is its capacity to stand up to the sofa which is, likewise, the most ambiguous among seats”.

Andrea is an elegant rectangular table that expands to become oval, providing more space for seating. The two side panels offering the possibility of extension are deliberately left in full view instead of being concealed inside the structure, as usually happens. In this case they are a dynamic part of the shape and the appearance of the table.
The table top is made with Tanaro, the formaldehyde-free plywood made exclusively for Atanor in mahogany.
