The extensive Fly family, in addition to numerous dining tables, coffee and side tables, also includes two low consoles designed for the living room.
Light and airy in appearance, the Fly consoles feature an epoxy-powder-coated metal structure enameled inside and out in a broad range of sophisticated shades. The feet, also made of metal, have the same design as those used for the tables, while the tops come in various types of marble. The Fly consoles are the perfect place to display the cowhide Box baskets, available in several colors.
