Sesann Coffee Table by Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina, 1970s Italy

The Sesann Coffee Table by Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina, created in the 1970s in Italy, is a striking example of Frattini’s ability to balance modernist rigor with a sense of warmth and approachability. Designed as part of the Sesann collection, the table reflects the era’s move toward softer, more inviting forms while maintaining a distinctly architectural presence. Its low, generous proportions pair beautifully with the Sesann sofas and armchairs, encouraging a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere. Composed of a sturdy chrome base with a thick square glass top, the table emphasizes transparency and openness, allowing the surrounding space and furniture to remain visible. The design captures the spirit of 1970s Italian living—comfortable, convivial, and stylish—while highlighting Frattini’s talent for creating furniture that feels both sculptural and functional.
