790 Edison Table is designed by Vico Magistretti for Cassina with frame in matt black painted steel or matt goose beak (orange), top support in matt black painted turned steel or matt goose beak (orange), float glass top tempered 15mm thick and aesthetic joints in cast aluminum painted matt black or matt goose beak (orange).
Inspired by the ready-made concept, Edison is the table Vico Magistretti designed in 1985 as a tribute to the elegance of industrial design, expressed through the special system of cross-shaped joints used to connect the pipes for gas lamps. A system borrowed by the architect to create the load-bearing structure for the table. Depending on the shape of the table top, the structure changes configuration in order to support the glass, material of choice because it allows the joint system to be visible. Edison is the table Magistretti preferred for the dining room in his own home in Milan and that Cassina relaunches with square, rectangular or round top.
«One of the most elegant ways to connect four steel pipes is the one used in gas lighting systems, with a simple cross joint in cast iron. I used it to connect the elements of the structure of a series of tables that I called Edison, from the name of the old Milanese gas company. " Vico Magistretti
