Ordinal Table

A collection of dining tables, both contemporary and sculptural, where the designer’s expertise in metalwork comes together with Cassina’s crafts skills and excellence in carpentry work. This clean-cut, essential design consists of a slender table-top fitted onto super-slim legs, in wood, or anodised or painted aluminium. Set at the very end of the table-top, and diagonally to it, the legs afford extra space to the guests. This design was especially challenging to Cassina’s Research Unit, and they responded by creating an innovative solution that is not only stable, but also strong while taking up minimal space. The collection includes two square tables as well as one oval option with a lacquered or veneer top and a solid wood trim. There are also three rectangular versions, one of which is in solid wood. The latter includes a concealed metal mechanism designed to counter the tensions and movements of the wood over time. The models with veneered tops have precious edges in solid wood.
