The artful craftsmanship of Rodolfo Dordoni is found in the Kew series. This collection includes small tables with trapezoidal and round shapes, supported by four painted, tapered iron legs. A simple geometric silhouette recalls the large metal greenhouses of the Victorian era. The use of a marble or wood top with a slightly flared side rim in leather gives such pieces a timeless elegance.
Domino, an innovative system of ottomans and tabletops, is designed to offer full freedom of composition. The supporting structure ensures stability and safety.
Teso is more than just a piece of furniture – it is a coffee table design that takes on the appearance of a sculpture.

Jean Nouvel, on the other hand, chose aluminum for his LessLess series. This collection consists of minimal and essential tables, characterized by a very thin, horizontal top. Lightness is also a hallmark of Vincent Van Duysen's Jan collection, which experiments with alternating materials such as metal, wood, stone, and glass, creating a family of tables with unparalleled appeal.
As part of the prestigious Molteni Heritage Collection, two small tables designed by the famous Milanese master Gio Ponti stand out. The first is the D.555.1 sofa side table, featuring metal legs and a visible colored grid, while the second, the D.552.2, strikes the observer with its virtuoso proportions and elegant alternation of glass, brass, and rosewood. The extraordinary collection of tables D.859.1 created by Gio Ponti includes two smaller components that faithfully respect the harmony and proportions of the original design, and are also suitable for a living space.
Through the excellence of the materials selected and the ingenuity of their creation, these small design tables embody the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. They showcase the art of curating unique pieces that elevate the environments in which they are placed to a higher level of sophistication and style.
