Mex-Hi
Made by Cassina
Designed by Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni's Mex-Hi occasional table is a quietly considered object, one where the relationship between materials does the speaking. A steel frame, precise in its geometry, anchors a composition of surfaces: a wooden tray, a stone top, or both in the larger configuration, where the two coexist in deliberate contrast.
The mechanism that holds it all together is as considered as the form itself. Tops and trays are secured to the underside of the steel frame through a series of knobs, a detail that is honest, functional, and refined in equal measure. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is excessive.
