Mesa Due Round Table
Made by Poltrona Frau
Designed by Lella & Massimo Vignelli
The Mesa Due Round Table originates in drawings by Lella and Massimo Vignelli, two of the twentieth century's most disciplined design voices. Its name encodes its logic: two forms, a circle and a cone, brought into precise geometric dialogue. There is no ornament, only proportion.
Poltrona Frau's realization of the Mesa concept preserves the formal rigor the Vignellis made their signature across five decades of practice. The cone base rises with quiet authority. The circular top extends the geometry outward, completing a composition that reads as clearly from across a room as it does up close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who were Lella and Massimo Vignelli?
Lella and Massimo Vignelli were Italian-American designers whose work spanned furniture, graphics, fashion, and architecture. Massimo's graphic rigor and Lella's architectural sensibility informed every object they produced together, earning them recognition as among the most consequential design minds of the twentieth century.
What is the original Mesa project?
The Mesa project was conceived by Lella and Massimo Vignelli as a study in geometric reduction, pairing a conical base with a circular top to explore how two primary forms could define a complete and self-sufficient object. The Mesa Due is Poltrona Frau's faithful development of those original drawings.
What materials are used in the Mesa Due Round Table?
Poltrona Frau produces the Mesa Due using materials and finishing processes consistent with their Italian manufacturing heritage. Specific configurations, finishes, and top materials are available through inquiry, as the piece is offered to order.
What dining chair styles pair well with the Mesa Due?
Given the table's geometric clarity, chairs with strong silhouettes and restrained detailing tend to complement it best. Pieces from the Vignelli canon or other Italian modernist chairs with defined profiles work in natural dialogue with the cone-and-circle composition.
Is the Mesa Due suitable for contract or hospitality use?
Poltrona Frau products are manufactured to standards that support both residential and contract applications. For hospitality or commercial specifications, it is advisable to consult directly regarding COM options, finish durability, and lead times.
