Edison
Made by Cassina
Designed by Vico Magistretti
Vico Magistretti si è ispirato per il tavolo Edison ai connettori a forma di croce presenti nelle lampade a gas del XIX secolo, un atto di traduzione discretamente radicale che sposta un dettaglio industriale utilitario nel linguaggio dell'architettura domestica raffinata.
La forma del connettore, resa con precisione nel vetro, diventa il gesto distintivo del pezzo. Funzionale nell'origine, si legge come scultura nella presenza, conferendo al tavolo una leggerezza visiva che smentisce il suo peso concettuale.
