LAST SUPPER

We like to dine in divine style

We love worshipping at the temple of fine design and when we come across furnishings that transcend the norm, we offer up high praise. Take, ‘Ordinal’, a sleek new collection of contemporary dining tables designed by Michael Anastassiades for Cassina. The version pictured here features an oval tabletop in solid Canaletto walnut and ultra-slim legs, set diagonally to leave more room under the table for diners. This was a challenge for Cassina’s research unit, but the resulting piece is strong and stable. We’ve matched it with a great design debut – young Italian Francesco Meda’s supremely comfortable, lightweight ‘Woody’ chairs for Molteni & C. Featuring flowing lines and leather seats, they don’t contain any screws as they are entirely crafted of seamlessly jointed solid ash.
