"Volumetria essenziale per il mobile basso. Un parallelepipedo sviluppato in orizzontale che integra due diversi elementi: un’ampia struttura da appoggio e un comodo cassetto laterale. Ampio vano centrale con un’apertura passante".

essenziale is about the design, Francescano sometimes is used as a synonym, not about the volume
