The preciousness of clear glass, the essential nature of wood and the brightness of metal define a magnificent piece of furniture: Quadrifoglio. The Quadrifoglio family of modern coffee tables is characterised by a square, rectangular or oval shape that perfectly matches the upholstered sofas by Porada. The four shaped legs in solid Canaletta walnut or ash wood rise like columns to support the clear glass top with rounded corners. Visible feet and metal plates in brushed brass add a touch of luminosity.
In the higher version, the four legs are replaced by a single central leg in solid Canaletta walnut or ash wood, installed on a metal base with a Bronzoro finish that guarantees stability to the entire unit. These comfortable supporting elements with a sophisticated and elegant design can be perfectly matched with the Halo line of lamps.
