Expertly crafted, these tables stand out for their simple yet refined lines, conveying a sense of understated and timeless elegance.

The smooth, polished surfaces of the top and lower shelf are in perfect harmony with the warm natural tone of the wood, which almost seems to emit a soft glow, evoking the beauty of the raw material used. The slender, tapered legs, gently inclined inward, give these tables a feeling of suspension in space, a distinctive feature of Ponti’s design language, always keen on creating furniture that interacts with its surroundings without overwhelming it.

The clean and unadorned design pays homage to modernist elegance, while the hidden sturdiness of the structure ensures lasting functionality. Perfect for complementing any space, from classic to contemporary, these side tables carry with them a historical and artistic legacy, paying tribute to one of the greatest masters of 20th-century design.
