Facile is a minimalist bench and table created by Lambl Homburger & Meyer. The design for Facile came about as a result of the quest to build a bridge between the twelve product ranges now available within the Mattiazzi collection. The designers were looking for a simple table which could be used together with any of the collection’s chairs. The designers could have named the table “Rondine,” or more accurately “Coda Di Rondine,” after the dovetail joint, which characterizes this example of Mattiazzi craftsmanship.

This choice of joint was inspired by its use in furniture in their mining regions, where they noticed its unobtrusive, simple beauty. It has been in use there for centuries, often to secure the legs of small stools to the seat. A dovetail can be very precise and straightforward. Sometimes it seems a little too simple and fragile, leaving one to wonder whether the stool might teeter like a young foal takings its first tentative steps. However, there are no worries with this collection, where the elegant dovetail expresses a sturdy simplicity to complement the sophistication of all Mattiazzi products, integrating the table perfectly into the collection.
