The Gustav table reveals a flair for sophisticated design details, like the point where the solid wood turned leg is joined to the table top. This seemingly simple detail requires complex construction finesse that remains entirely out of sight. Available in round and rectangular versions, the Gustav table comes in several sizes and in a series of unique combinations between the structure in solid Canaletto walnut or ash, stained in a number of tints, and a choice of marble for the top: White Carrara, Nero Marquina, Calacatta Gold or Emperador.

About Designer
Carlo Colombo	Carlo Colombo was born in 1967 at Carimate. In 1993 he graduated in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic, but by 1991 he had already made contact with Giulio Cappellini, for whom he designed his first piece in 1992: the Kyoto bed, presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan the same year. From this time on Colombo’s work as a designer flowed into hundreds of projects in collaboration with the leading firms in the sector. In 2004 Colombo was named Designer of the Year in Tokyo. Between 2005 and 2011 he received the International Design Award four times from Elle Décor and he has won prizes for his projects from Gioia Casa and MD Magazine. In 2009 he was one of the winners of the Good Design Award presented by the European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum. A sort of ambassador of Italian design to the world, he gives lectures and conferences in Israel, Greece, Portugal,Slovenia, Ukraine, Australia, Russia, Britain, Brazil and China. Apart from product and furniture design, Colombo undertakes business and marketing promotion for companies, works on graphic design, curates exhibitions, works as consultant and art director (since 2006 and for Arflex and since 2008 for Stratex). Entrepreneurs were among the first clients for the houses he designed, but they soon commissioned showrooms, sales outlets and production facilities, like the Poliform Lab opened in 2011 in the heart of Brianza.
