Have you ever walked into a room and found yourself drawn to a piece of furniture that looked… just a little odd at first?
That happened to me in a cozy cabin-style living room — the kind with wood paneling, soft lighting, and that comforting scent of old books and worn leather.
There it was.
A small round table.
Three skinny legs.
And a long, graceful handle rising from the center like a bird mid-stride.
At first glance, I thought:
“What even is that?”
Then I asked.
And what I learned changed how I think about furniture forever.
It was the Franco Albini Cicognino side table — a design classic from 1954 that somehow feels like it was made yesterday.
And once I understood its story?
I was hooked.
