City Table

Table designed by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis Milano, 1983.

Made of wood clad in decorative laminate, with chromed metal legs and enamelled aluminium feet, City rethinks the table leg as the true protagonist of the piece. Its rounded yet rational forms express Sottsass’s conviction that structure and decoration are one and the same, while the animalier-patterned top gives the composition an unmistakably bold and sophisticated character. A distinctive example of postmodern design, the table brings both graphic energy and sculptural presence to an interior.
