I was in a cozy, cabin-like living room—wood paneling, warm lighting, the faint scent of vintage books—and my eyes landed on a curious table. Round top. Three thin legs. A single vertical “handle” jutting up like a bird stretching its neck.
I had to ask: “What is that?”
It was the Franco Albini Cicognino side table, designed in 1954. And ever since, it’s captured my fascination.
Cicognino: The “Little Stork”
Cicognino means “little stork” in Italian. The angled handle? That’s the neck—or maybe the beak. It gives the table a sense of motion, like a bird mid-step.
Albini designed this handle with a purpose: you can pick up and move the table with one hand. Functional. Playful. Practical. That clever detail is why it stayed with me. It isn’t just decoration—it’s furniture meant to be used.
