Bonaldo - Cross Table

The top rests only on a thin structure but it is the wooden base in the shape of a cross to give the table strength and structural strength. The design of the table offers an overall view where the role of each element in relation to the other emerges in a pleasant contrast between straight lines and soft curves, between masculinity and femininity.

The three different elements that make it up offer the possibility to create various combinations of finishes and colors, from the most original to the most sober for a highly customizable complement. The top is available in wood, ceramic or marble. A wide range of variants also for the finishes of the base, including the elegant versions in pearl gold painted metal and platinum. The lower cross is made of three possible variants of wood.
