Cicognino is a coffee table designed in 1953 by Franco Albini. An essential and ironic design, composed of a few elements that recall the shape of a stork: the three thin legs, one of which also becomes a handle and a support surface that gives stability to the figure. Originality and elegance make this object capable of making any type of space expressive.
Cassina
Cassina was founded in 1927 in Meda (Milan) by Cesare and Umberto Cassina, inaugurating industrial design in Italy in the 1950s. The brand's identity is found in an original union where technological aptitude is closely linked to traditional craftsmanship. Cassina maintains its ancient heart, the carpentry, the linchpin of all its workmanship. It is characterised by a transversal culture of absolute quality, which makes each Cassina piece unique.
