Reno Side Table

Designed in 1961 by Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá for the Gres firm, the Reno model occasional table was originally conceived for the restaurant of the same name, located on Barcelona’s emblematic Tuset Street, the epicenter of the city’s cultural and architectural modernity in the 1960s.

Made of ukola wood, this piece reflects its authors’ desire to reformulate traditional luxury furniture typologies from a contemporary perspective, combining bold proportions, formal refinement, and a carefully crafted sculptural presence.

The Catalan architect and designer duo Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá were leading figures of the Modern Movement. Correa and Milá followed the principle that interior design and industrial design were part of the same architectural project. Collaborators of José Antonio Coderch, they founded their own studio in 1953. Their work included summer houses in Cadaqués, interiors for the legendary FlashFlash and Il Giardinetto restaurants, and distinctive, iconic design pieces created to furnish their own projects and for furniture companies such as Gres.
