The sculptural metal base is the heart of Jean, a collection of modern dining tables with the metal base and the top available in different finishes and sizes. The smallest version is a round table for four people, with top available in glass, wood, marble or ceramic. The round marble table version is a sophisticated product, thanks to the high-quality marble available in four different finishes. The larger version has a “botte” curved shape, like a rectangular top table shape that can sit comfortably up to ten people.
The modern design metal base is available in a black, grey pewter or Bronzoro finishes, that makes it perfect for any design style, both modern and contemporary or for a more traditional home. The central position of the bases gives a high level of comfort and leaves a flexibility in placing the chairs around the table.
