This table model designed by the architects Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá has a great constructive quality. It consists of a triangular stretcher frame that joins the two lateral supports, made of a double sheet of wood. The rectangular top has rounded corners, which gives fluidity to the design and contrasts with the sharp angles of the structure. It was produced by Gres in the 1960s and is characteristic of the simple yet refined style that emerged from the collaboration between the company and these key design figures in pre-Olympic Barcelona.
