Designed by Paola Navone for the Gervasoni brand, the Inout 49 table stands out for its sophisticated sobriety and totem-like structure. Made from GFRC concrete and available in three heights, Inout can be used as a coffee table but also as a footstool and footrest. Its finish means it can be used both indoors and outdoors, on its own or in a combination of several elements of different heights.
