Andrea Fanfani Il Giorno Console Tables

 

The History of the Console Table
The French word console originally described an architectural element supporting a projecting part of a building, such as a balcony or cornice. The name derives from the Latin ccon-solidare, meaning “to support” or “to strengthen”. In furniture design, a console became a narrow table with three or four legs, supported against a wall on one side.

Furniture consoles were invented in France during the reign of Louis XIV, at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, during the rise of classicism. 

Since that time, console tables in interiors have represented luxury and aristocratic status.

Some pieces need no introduction and make an immediate impression through their appearance or tactile quality. Andrea Fanfani creates furniture of this kind, with noble forms, exceptional beauty and uncompromising quality.

Andrea Fanfani artisans create more than furniture. The artisans create beauty and add to the pleasure of everyday life.
