About the Item

Ernesto Nathan Rogers, a member of the Milanese design studio Studio BBPR, said that Milanese design should always start ‘from the spoon to the town’. The ‘Arco’ console table is a perfect distillation of this idea. Grounded in Italian Rationalism and designed on the principle of ideal proportions, the table has two bifurcated metal legs, each finishing in a geometric foot that gives the piece weight and a strong industrial feel, finished by a bakelite top, rendered in a wood imitation.
