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 colour or contrasting in brass, and a tabletop and base in iron, all in gleaming, elemental purity.

The side tables are entirely painted in gunmetal or an orbital bronze matt finish. The stand is in brushed brass for the two-coloured version and sharply contrasts with the two finishes.
Orbital bronze: hand-brushed handcrafted finish to create the “scratched” effect.
Multi-layered painting with "gunmetal" effect. The difference between coffee tables of the same finish is characteristic of the manual workmanship, which may be susceptible to variations in tone and homogeneity.
Multi-layered varnishing with a "scratched" effect obtained by manual brushing. The difference between coffee tables of the same finish is characteristic of the manual workmanship, which may be susceptible to variations in tone and homogeneity.
