FRAMETABLE Collection

Alberto Meda, 2001

Perfect for any setting, from domestic to professional spaces, the tables in the FRAMETABLE collection, designed by Alberto Meda, are characterized by their understated design and remarkable formal lightness. Available in the fixed and folding versions, they have a load-bearing structure out of die-cast aluminium and rectangular or oval tops are available in different sizes and materials.
In the original folding version, Frametable closes by means of an elegant mechanism that gives the table an unusual aesthetic value, as well as being practical and functional. In the fixed version, the structure is equipped with a crossbar that connects the legs and ensures stability even in wider tables.

About
FRAMETABLE

“The initial inspiration came from the idea of creating an auxiliary tabletop, to be used in meeting rooms to quickly increase the working surface when needed. I had in mind a small table, almost a side.
Along the way, I realized that by exploiting the strength and lightness of composite materials, it would be possible to build a full-sized table, easily transportable and suitable for multiple uses.” – Alberto Meda
