Item description

784 coffee table by Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina, 1970s. Born in Padua in 1926, Gianfranco Frattini graduated in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 1953, where he lived and worked until his death. His professional activity was mainly in interior design and industrial design. In 1956 he was among the founders of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design, for which he held numerous positions. Cassina Spa is an Italian company operating in the contemporary furniture sector, founded in 1927 in Meda by Cesare and Umberto Cassina. The main activity is woodworking, within the company, for the production of small tables. Over the years the company expanded, especially in the postwar period, thanks in part to collaborations with outside architects who brought their expertise and research. In the 1950s Cassina shifted from craft to serial production, adopting the logic of industrial design. A change also induced by the commissioning of furniture for the interiors of large cruise ships. In addition, some of the company's best-known products take shape in this period: the 646 chair and the 699 chair, known as the "Superleggera," both designed by Gio Ponti.
