Architecture, a pan virtuosity, acrobatic proportions and an intersection of joints. D.552.2, an infinite table which is a geometric dialogue between the glass and rosewood – lightness and abstraction distilled. D.552.2 small table, in wood with a glass top, designed for the American company. The D.552.2 small table, made of solid rosewood with satinized bronze legs and an ultra light transparent triangular top, belongs to this collection destined for the American market. The revision of the D.552.2 table curated by Molteni&C is part of the Gio Ponti Collection.

Molteni&C is re-examining its own history with an eye to the future. The 80!Molteni exhibition, the creation of the company’s historical archive and its recently inaugurated Molteni Museum have provided an opportunity for revival, from the origins of modernity.
Intriguing traces have emerged from a past that turns out to be contemporary, ripe for a re-think today. Unique pieces that can step straight out of their museum showcases and into our contemporary homes.
