“Is a piece of wood that rests on a simple structure enough to produce a piece of furniture?”. This is the question Christophe Pillet asked himself when he designed the Any Day console. For the designer, the answer is yes, if “in this sophisticated understatement we find attention to detail, balanced proportions, celebrated elegance of the silhouette and masterful execution, characteristics that define the unique quality of that object”.

The Any Day console combines pure lines and minimalist design, expressed through a great number of finishes that emphasize its outstanding versatility.

The sleek metal structure supports a Canaletto walnut veneered element, complete with practical drawers, that comes in an array of finishes. The top can be made of wood or in various types of marble.

The concept of the Any Day console also extends to a family of coffee and side tables, available in a number of sizes and finishes; and also, an ottoman whose distinctive seat is made of woven paper cord or paper rush cord, natural materials that trace their origin to traditional methods.
