Dining table from the “Post Modern” series, designed by Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni and produced by Glas Italia in Italy during the 1970s. The tabletop is made of clear glass to which four metal rings are attached. The legs, made of molded and shaped borosilicate glass, are screwed directly into these rings, creating a highly stable structure with a light, airy appearance. Piero Lissoni’s “Post Modern” series was also produced in rectangular and circular versions, but this is the largest square version made, capable of comfortably seating eight diners.
