Maestro Table
Made by Acerbis
Designed by Gianfranco Frattini
Gianfranco Frattini was among the defining voices of postwar Italian design, working across furniture, lighting, and industrial objects with a consistent belief in formal clarity and material precision. The Maestro table is one of his most enduring statements for Acerbis, a Bergamo-based manufacturer with a long history of collaborating with Italy's most consequential designers.
The table is offered in solid black ash or dark stained walnut, two woods chosen for the depth of their grain and the way they absorb light. Each finish carries a distinct character: black ash reads with graphic force, while dark walnut brings warmth and a quiet richness to the surface. Both express a confidence in materiality that resists ornamentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Maestro table for Acerbis?
The Maestro table was designed by Gianfranco Frattini, a Milan-based architect and designer whose career spanned from the 1950s through the early 2000s. Frattini was a pivotal figure in Italian industrial design, known for disciplined form and a deep engagement with materials.
What materials is the Maestro table available in?
The Maestro table is offered in solid black ash or dark stained walnut. Both are solid wood constructions, selected for the expressive quality of their grain and their ability to take a deep, consistent finish.
What sizes does the Acerbis Maestro table come in?
The Maestro is available in a range of sizes to suit different spatial contexts. Specific dimensions can be confirmed through a product inquiry, as configurations may vary.
Is the Acerbis Maestro table made in Italy?
Yes. Acerbis manufactures its furniture in the Bergamo region of northern Italy, a part of Lombardy with deep roots in furniture craft and industrial design production.
How does the Maestro table fit within Frattini's broader body of work?
Frattini consistently worked at the intersection of architecture and industrial production, favoring structures where function and form were inseparable. The Maestro reflects that approach: its joinery and silhouette are integral to one another, with no decorative elements that do not also carry structural meaning.
