'tema' tables

'gigogne' is a small set of tables presented by fornasetti as part of milan design week 2010
at spazio fornasetti. for these designs, it was the desire of barnaba fornasetti to create
particularly simple and modern shapes that could be used as a coffee table, stool or bench.
this ensemble set is the result of such an endeavour and will be available in two
patterned variations. these include the 'strumenti da disegnio' (drawing instruments) and
a deconstructed print of 'tema' (theme), the iconic fornasetti face.

small table: 45cmx45cmx34cm
large table: 100 cm x 45cm x 44cm
