“The Nomos Table, developed for Italian furniture manufacturer Tecno, is characterised by its splayed metal legs, angled from a central spine, as if poised for flight. Some critics have suggested references to the lunar landing module; another image is the grasshopper with its slim body and gangly legs.” -text: fosterandpartners.

This came with a damaged round glass top which was unusable. We had this square smoked glass top in storage which fits, but is not original, which you don’t have to take but the price remains the same with or without. We can order a NEW glass top for you, additional price: estimated:  € 1250,-  This top does have some scratches (see photo) and very minor chips.
