The Mettsass table is designed by the renowned Italian architect and designer for the Spanish design company, featuring a structure made of lacquered steel sheet. The top is made of glass in the same color as the structure.
Created in 1972, the Mettsass table is an iconic object distinguished by its bold shape and its vivid red or black color. Made from flat steel plates, it expresses the author’s drive for experimentation and nonconformity, anticipating the spirit that would later fuel the Memphis movement. Far from the functionalist minimalism of the Bauhaus tradition, the Mettsass embraces daring geometries and a strong sensory component. Reintroduced in 2012 and still in production today, it is both a functional table and a sculptural object—almost a large jewel within a space.
