In 2019, Alain Gilles met Bonaldo and an unconventional idea emerged, a bold design for a product destined to make history: Big Table. In 2019, a special edition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of an icon was presented.
The distinguishing feature of Big Table is its base, made up of four laser-cut steel legs that intertwine and overlap, of which the perception changes, depending on the observer's perspective. It is a play on equilibrium, a magical contrast between the linearity of the top and the dynamism suggested by the inclined legs. Ten years after its launch, Big Table is offered in a special edition to celebrate this vital milestone in the history of a product, which has become a true icon of design. In this new version, the table has a rectangular Saint Denis marble top with a strong graphic pattern and colours with extraordinary intensity. The top is combined with the steel base painted in the same colour, thereby creating a single whole that never ceases to astound and inspire.
