Bianca ochre oval table

Arts and materials

The Bianca coffee table's structure is entirely handcrafted in natural rattan in one of the oldest Italian workshops set up in 1889 in the Brianza region, it is now one of the last remaining specialists in Europe. Maison Matisse aims to create long-lasting pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation. Choosing the right artisanal producer and materials is fundamental, anchoring the relationship between the artisan and the piece they create.  Few artisans still possess the secret of this savoir-faire today, one that comes to life with the Bianca coffee table as it seduces any setting with its timeless design. 

The rattan structure features a block-color ceramic top that has been varnished with a matt finish. Once poured, the top is then demolded by hand in one of the oldest artisanal workshops in Italy, a family-run business set up in Tuscany in 1921.
Fired first, the ceramic is then painted with a slip before being fired a second time in order to permanently fix the color. The rattan structure is handcrafted by folding the cane using a traditional steaming method.
