The table is foldable in its side parts. In fact we find under the table top two locks or brass mechanism that allow the two sides to close, thus forming a wall console or as a space saver. Its four elegantly semi-curved legs give the table elegance and lightness. At the foot of the legs we find a brass plate that give the table preciousness. Its table top as well as the other elements of the round table are made of dark painted wood.

Measurements: 90 x 70 x 129 cm; 40 cm (seat height). The versatile and comfortable P40 armchair was designed by Osvaldo Borsani in 1955 for Tecno. It features a multitude of conveniences: the chair can be adjusted in more than 400 positions; the backrest can be reclined to different angles, the headrest moves up and down, the flexible rubber armrests can be folded, and the chair has a folding legrest with extendable metal footrest. Trained from a very young age in the family furniture company, Osvaldo Borsani participated in 1933 in the V Milan Triennale, with the "Minimal House" project, which was awarded the silver medal. After graduating from the Milan Polytechnic, he met and collaborated with important artists such as Lucio Fontana, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu, Roberto Crippa, Fausto Melotti, and Arnaldo Pomodoro. In 1953, together with his brother Fulgencio, he founded Tecno, a project to which he would dedicate his entire life. His first industrial design works were the P40 variable-tilt armchair (1953) and the D70 sofa with invertible seat. In 1968 he created the Graphis office system (together with Eugenio Gerli, which was distributed worldwide in a million copies), thanks to which Tecno became an internationally renowned manufacturer of office design products. At the end of the sixties, Osvaldo Borsani created the Tecno Project Center with Marco Fantoni and Valeria Borsani.
