Price € 12.688,00
Mesa is a true icon of purity of form. Designed in 1985 by Lella and Massimo Vignelli, it remains today one of the most successful proposals of the Poltrona Frau brand thanks to the combination of two simple geometric shapes: the circle and the cone. The result stands out and adapts to different types of environment, suggesting an extraordinary versatility. The mesa slate top is characterized by the traditional splitting process that keeps wrinkles and natural veins on the surface. The undertop in burnished steel sheet supports this structure supported by the supporting column in stone. Elegant and practical, it is the ideal object for living spaces or common areas.

Poltrona Frau brings in any kind of environment, from home to office, its characteristic taste for leather-covered furnishings. The company grew out from the intuition of Renzo Frau who, moving in Torino, founded his workshop in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The Piedmont city was the ideal stage for the proposals of the young entrepreneur.
From the beginning, Poltrona Frau furnishings attract the attentions of the bourgeoisie and the Savoy Aristocracy, strongly fascinated by the international taste. The company’s collections embodied the timeless beauty of the Made in Italy design, despite a remarkable stylistic inflection in the Edoardian taste. In those years came to life iconic products such as the historic model 904, better known as Vanity Fair, the Chester armchair, which recalls the Chesterfield style, and the model 1919.Read more
Designed by
Lella & Massimo Vignelli
Lella (1934-2016) and Massimo (1931-2014), founders of the Vignelli Associates studio, were a couple of Italian designers who have spent most of their life and career in the United States and who have left an indelible mark on the history of the graphic designer. Massimo was in fact, together with Bob Noorda, one of the founders of Unimark International, a large international studio with offices in all major American and European cities that has contributed to shaping some of the most iconic visual identities of the entire twentieth century. It is Massimo and Lella who have signed epochal projects for Unimark such as those for the map and signage of the New York subway and the corporate identities of American industry giants such as American Airlines and Ford. In 1971 they decided to set up their own business and found the Vignelli Associates studio in New York, through which they managed to best express their elegant style of great structural purity, also intensifying relations with Italy and Europe with projects such as those for the graphic identity of brands such as Lancia or Ducati or of a very popular transmission such as the TG2. Michael Bierut, their young employee who would become one of the big names in graphic design in America in the future, once said that "it seemed that the entire city of New York was a permanent exhibition of Vignelli's works". In the field of furniture, their main client was the Knoll brand, for which they took care of the visual identity for many years and for which they designed some products, but they also had the opportunity to work with Italian brands such as Poltrona Frau, Acerbis and Poltronova.Read more
