the any day family of tables and coffee/side tables dwells in the concept of subtraction. designer christophe pillet intentionally stripped the design of non-essentials, to then focus on the details and the precise proportions that define the quality of that object. the piece of wood sits effortlessly on the metal structure, which is in turn available in many finishes. the top comes in canaletto walnut or ash veneer, both in a glossy lacquer finish or in various types of marble.  from the entry to the living room and even the bedrooms, any day can fit into any room.
