Understated and refined, the Kyoto table by architect and designer Gianfranco Frattini is the perfect blend of design vision and master craftsmanship. In the early 70s, during a trip to Japan to study the work of the local craftsmen, Gianfranco Frattini visited the craft workshops of Kyoto together with expert carpenter Pierluigi Ghianda, who would become his friend and collaborator. Inspired by the processing techniques and aesthetics of these places, the designer came up with the idea for the joint that would form the basis of the table of the same name, production of which began in 1974. This collection immediately became synonymous with a concept of understatement which, as in the best Italian design tradition, combines a brilliant idea with impeccable execution. In this table, the construction concept becomes the object itself. The absence of decorative elements exalts the beauty of the raw material - the Canaletto walnut inserts have a precise strengthening function - requiring great technical ability and care as well as in-depth knowledge of the material. Revisited by Poltrona Frau with complete respect for the original project, the table reflects the skills and expertise of a new wave of artisans, heirs of the rich Italian wood-crafting tradition, and stands alongside Albero and Turner as an example of high-end craftsmanship. The table forms part of the permanent collection of the Design Museum at the Milan Triennale.
