Pied-à-Terre Fixed & Extending Table
by BrogliatoTraverso for Magis
A sculptural round table that redefines conviviality—compact, extendable, and quietly architectural.
Designed as a modern microcosm of gathering, Pied-à-Terre brings people together with effortless elegance. Its pure circular geometry, graphic base, and seamless extension mechanism allow it to transition naturally from intimate moments to shared occasions, without ever compromising its visual clarity.
“In its own way, the round table represents a microcosm with different rules for use.”
— Alberto Brogliato & Federico Traverso
With Pied-à-Terre, BrogliatoTraverso were invited to reinvent the extending table by focusing on the most inclusive and welcoming shape of all: the circle. Free from orientation and hierarchy, the round form encourages natural conversation and a sense of equality around the table.
Unlike conventional round tables, Pied-à-Terre transforms this archetypal geometry into a striking presence—one that immediately draws the eye while remaining refined and balanced within a space. It is domestic architecture distilled into a single object, where lightness and stability exist in perfect harmony.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Every element of Pied-à-Terre reflects Magis’s commitment to design integrity—where function is never hidden, and aesthetics are inseparable from use.
-
Frame in painted steel, ensuring structural precision and durability
-
Sculptural base in recycled marble, acting as a static ballast and defining graphic element
-
Tabletop and extension leaves in Fenix laminate, prized for its soft-touch finish, durability, and contemporary matte appearance
-
Integrated extension mechanism, visible yet refined, highlighting the action rather than concealing it
The marble base is both technical and poetic: a strong, iconic detail that blends classical architectural references with a contemporary design language.
