Inspired by one of the most fascinating and ephemeral creatures in the world, the Butterfly Table marries design function and enduring style in a one-of-a-kind piece. This table replaces the traditional legs with an exquisitely crafted, double looped metal base, reminiscent of a butterfly’s wings.

The base is available in titanium or bronze embossed lacquered steel, bringing a touch of Italian grandeur to any space. Sitting on top of the artistic base is a transparent, contemporary glass surface, bringing a sense of softness and fragility to the robust build. The bold contrast between the base and glass delivers a novel combination of sleek, steel curves and captivating geometries.
