Sources Unlimited, India’s leading curator of global luxury interiors, has recently introduced the Manfred Table, designed by acclaimed Italian designer Giuseppe Iasparra, to the Indian market. Part of Longhi’s iconic Loveluxe Collection, the Manfred Table brings refined Italian craftsmanship and contemporary luxury into Indian living spaces.

The Manfred Table is distinguished by its sculptural form and the signature ‘Sequence’ decoration on its base. Inspired by a beehive motif, the perforated pattern appears handcrafted yet is executed using advanced laser-cutting technology, reflecting a seamless blend of artisanal expression and modern precision.

Available in both large and compact formats, the table is designed to adapt to diverse interior settings. A central lazy Susan adds functionality without detracting from its elegance, while marble or wood tabletops balance visual richness with everyday usability, making it suitable for sophisticated dining environments.

The beehive-inspired motif is a recurring element across Longhi’s Loveluxe Collection, reinforcing a cohesive design language that combines architectural depth with strong visual impact. Curated for India by Sources Unlimited, the Manfred Table reflects a shared commitment to timeless design, meticulous craftsmanship and innovation, offering Indian clients access to a truly global luxury furniture experience.
