One is stunning, two can be transformational. Regardless of how you stage the Abaco coffee tables by Pianca, you cannot help but admire their bold and beautiful styling and the strategic nature of their design that espouses cohesion and architectural integrity, but still has a bit of whimsy. A modular table that relies on the classic three-legged design utilizing a slim profile and a flawless flat top which can lift, with multiple edge detail options.
