Mantis

An identified flying object, whose name derives from the eponymous insect, Mantis is a gentle table conceived for De Padova. The legs -bent from a sheet of malleable, industrial metal- join at the central beam: they form a backbone for the slender, tapered top, like the wings of an airplane. A synthesis of innovation and craftsmanship, solidity and lightness, Mantis is a long table, able to accommodate many people, for either a dinner party or a board meeting.
