Fratino table designed by Jeff Miller for Baleri Italia with an aluminum base made from two mirrored castings connected by an extruded elliptical-section crossbar, which can be flipped and used with the crossbar on top simply by reversing the position of the feet and tabletop supports. The tabletop is made of 15 mm thick tempered glass.
Fratino represents an innovative contemporary reinterpretation of the homonymous table, also called monk's table, originated in medieval monasteries. Originally known for its elongated shape and characteristic wooden reinforcements at the bottom, Fratino retains the charm of tradition while reinterpreting it through cutting-edge materials and design. The structure is distinguished by a base composed of two mirrored aluminum castings joined by an elliptical section beam. This configuration offers a perfect balance between strength and visual lightness. The transparent glass top enhances the fluidity of the lines, highlighting the continuity between the components, while the variant with a wooden top celebrates the historical roots of the table, adding warmth and character.
The real innovation of Fratino lies in its versatility: the base can be flipped over, allowing the crosspiece to be placed on top. This simple gesture transforms the design, creating a new, different but equally harmonious and original configuration that amplifies the product's personality.
