Description
The Porada Quadrifoglio Bistrot Dining Table, designed by C. Ballabio, reinterprets the Quadrifoglio language as a bar-height table with a single sculptural central leg in solid canaletta walnut or ash fixed to a circular metal ring in Bronzoro finish. A 15 mm clear glass top, square or round depending on the model, is mounted via a UV-glued brushed brass plate, giving the top a floating, luminous appearance that makes it ideal for bars, counters, and elevated dining corners in refined residential or contract spaces.
Key Features
- Bar-Height Quadrifoglio Design: The Bistrot version translates the four-leaf clover inspiration into a tall pedestal table at 105 cm height, offering comfortable standing or stool-height use for social and hospitality settings.
- Central Solid Wood Leg: The single leg is crafted in solid canaletta walnut or ash, shaped with alternating concave and convex surfaces, creating a dynamic profile and highlighting the natural grain of the wood.
- Bronzoro Metal Ring Base: The leg is fixed on a circular metal ring in Bronzoro finish, which works as a stable base and introduces a warm bronze accent that coordinates with the brass plate and surrounding finishes.
- Clear Glass Top with Brass Plate: The 15 mm clear glass top, available in square or round formats, is connected to the base using a UV-glued brushed brass plate, ensuring a clean, secure attachment and a discreet metallic highlight viewed through the glass.
- Compact Proportions: Two top sizes—80 and 100 cm—provide flexible solutions for single or small groups in bars, kitchen islands, and café-style layouts while keeping circulation and visual openness in mind.
- Italian Craftsmanship: Precision machining of solid wood, carefully finished metalwork, and polished glass edges reflect Porada’s focus on high-end detailing and durability in everyday use.
Top & Glass Details
Glass Top
Clear Glass: 15 mm thick transparent crystal glass with polished edges, offering high clarity and a light, floating effect above the sculptural base.
The glass is mounted on a brushed brass plate using UV bonding technology, creating a minimal, precise junction between top and pedestal.
Base & Pedestal Finish Options
Base – Ash Wood Leg
Natural Ash: Light-toned, open-grained finish that brightens the Bistrot table and suits Scandinavian or airy interiors.
Ash Moka Stained: Warm brown tone that grounds the glass and pairs well with darker stools and flooring.
Ash Canaletta Walnut Stained: Ash coloured to recall canaletta walnut, combining a classic walnut tone with ash’s subtle grain.
Ash Wengé Stained: Deep, dark finish that creates a strong vertical accent under the transparent top.
Ash Canapa Stained: Soft, natural beige stain suited to relaxed, organic schemes.
Ash Grey Stained: Contemporary grey shade that complements monochrome or industrial-inspired environments.
Base – Matt Lacquered Open Pore
Matt Lacquered Open Pore: The ash leg is finished in matt lacquer while the wood grain remains visible, merging colour expression with the texture of natural timber for a refined yet tactile pedestal.
Base – Canaletta Walnut
Canaletta Walnut: Signature Porada walnut with warm, expressive grain, ideal when the Bistrot table is a focal piece in lounges or bars.
Canaletta Walnut Moka Stained: Darkened walnut tone that enhances the sculpted concave–convex profiles and coordinates with richer interior palettes.
Canaletta Walnut Wengé Stained: Very dark, elegant finish delivering a dramatic vertical column beneath the clear glass.
Base – Matt Lacquered Closed Pore
Matt Lacquered Closed Pore: Smooth, fully opaque lacquer without visible grain, giving the central leg a crisp, monolithic look for highly contemporary or graphic interiors.
Metal Ring & Brass Plate
Metal Ring – Bronzoro
Bronzoro Metal Ring: The circular base ring in Bronzoro finish stabilises the tall structure and introduces a warm metallic note at floor level that coordinates with many metal stool bases and fixtures.
Brushed Brass Plate
Brushed Brass Plate: A brushed brass plate is UV-glued beneath the clear glass top, creating a durable mechanical connection and a subtle golden highlight seen through the transparent surface.
