Magis low table Motta

The Motta collection of coffee tables, designed by renowned designer Jasper Morrison for Magis, is born from the synergistic encounter and deep creative bond that has united the designer and the brand since 1993. This line of coffee tables reinterprets serving furniture with a visually light, essential, and highly functional language. The design takes shape from a slender yet sturdy frame in glossy painted steel tubing, which acts as a counterpoint to a warm and welcoming circular top in natural oak-veneered MDF. Designed for total versatility, Motta coffee tables adapt naturally to both residential contexts (as elegant living area tables) and contract, lounge, and commercial spaces, offering a perfect balance between durability, visual compactness, and formal elegance.

Design Philosophy, Details, and Modularity

Motta coffee tables express Jasper Morrison's "super normal" philosophy through intelligent design solutions:

• Chrome-Material Contrast: The color palette of the glossy painted steel tube frame (red, green, Blue and brown) meets the naturalness of oak, creating a dialogue between industrial rigor and domestic warmth.
• Double Functional Level: Exclusively on the Ø 50 cm model, a second optional lower shelf measuring Ø 41.5 cm can be added upon request. This accessory optimizes storage space, making it perfect for storing magazines, remote controls, or small personal items.
• Visual Lightness: Thanks to the reduced diameter of the metal frame and the sleek lines, the tables do not saturate the visual space, allowing for an airy and tidy environment even in small rooms.

Product Maintenance and Care

Timely and proper cleaning preserves the beauty of the natural oak and the shine of the polished steel frame:

• Routine CleaningWe recommend using a soft, dry or damp cloth. For wooden surfaces, use pH-neutral cleaners specifically formulated for wood, diluted in water, if necessary.
• Liquid Handling: We recommend drying the surfaces as soon as possible. Avoid prolonged contact with strongly colored or acidic substances (coffee, wine, carbonated drinks, vinegar, tomato juice) which could stain or leave marks on natural oak.
• Products to Avoid: Never use abrasive sponges, metal scouring pads, or abrasive products. Avoid using acidic products, pure chemical solvents, and detergents containing ammonia.

FAQ

What is the optional shelf for the Ø 50 cm model?
The additional shelf (with a diameter of 41.5 cm) is positioned at the bottom of the steel frame of the Ø 50 cm coffee table. It serves as a convenient pocket emptier or magazine rack, doubling the usable surface without increasing the overall external dimensions of the piece.

Can Motta coffee tables be used outdoors, for example on a covered balcony?
No, the Motta coffee table collection is designed exclusively for indoor use. The natural oak veneered MDF top and metal frame are untreated to withstand constant humidity, direct rain, or prolonged sunlight, which could warp the wood or damage the finish.

How can I combine the different diameters in a living area?
The three sizes (Ø 50, Ø 70, and Ø 100 cm) are designed to work beautifully both alone and in groups. For example, you can place the Ø 100 cm model in the center of the sofa area as a main coffee table, and place a Ø 50 cm model (perhaps with a double shelf) to the side as a surface for a reading lamp or electronic devices.
