Simple Japanese elegance and the tactile richness of solid wood, underlined by the expert dovetail joints: the Kyoto table designed by Gianfranco Frattini in ‘74 is faithfully revisited and presented by Poltrona Frau on the occasion of the launch of the 2020 collection. In the Kyoto table the construction concept becomes the object itself. The absence of decorative elements exalts the beauty of the raw material – the Canaletto walnut inserts have a precise strengthening function – requiring great technical ability and care as well as an in-depth knowledge of the material. The Kyoto table forms part of the permanent collection of the Design Museum at the Milan Triennale.
