This product type was quite rare in Italy at the time and Rinaldi probably took his inspiration from Nordic culture. Originally, the T 904 was a side table (as suggested by the code) which can, however, be moved around using the handles. With cushions, it becomes a seat. In vintage photos, Rinaldi places two of the three cushions on top of each other to create a kind of armrest for those who wish to sit and always leaves part of the surface free for a glass or a magazine.
