Elena
The square Elena table, which entered into production in 1970, is produced in ABS thermoplastic in white, black and red. The particular bend on the legs assures stability to the frame by relying on the systemic resistance of the shape, a design feature that Magistretti experimented in other concepts developed during the same years, ranging from the Selene chair to the Chimera lamp. A particular triangular element, fixed at the base of the table legs, and a circular indent corresponding to the corners of the table top, makes several pieces of this furniture perfectly stackable.
