Tables

The elegant sculpted form of the Corinto table, entirely crafted in marble, is stunningly unique with its modern balance of material and geometry. Made entirely of marble, it is uniquely appealing with its fresh new balance of material and geometric design. The top and legs are made of marble slabs finished along the entire thickness. Subtle 9.5 mm overhangs, facing inwards, add movement and dynamism. The legs stand firmly on the ground to enhance the effect of material lightness and the vertical sections interlock softly and perfectly with the horizontal sections. An iron support frame that also allows quick, easy, correct assembly guarantees structural stability.

Sculptural, symbolic, bold: the table stem from a desire to have fun assembling three classic, primary, geometric elements in an ironic way. Ettore pays homage to master designer Ettore Sottsass, a visionary pursuer of design that would break the traditional aesthetic rules, going beyond the purely ornamental and venturing into the realm of emotional, social as well as aesthetic experimentation. The intention behind the Ettore table was to pay tribute to this philosophy and to aggregate, surprise and stimulate. The central leg, monumental in size, tapers at the base to produce a lighter look and suggest an ironic contrast between the parts and an unexpected effect, fooling the eyes into believing it doesn’t touch the ground. The effect is emphasized by the choice of materials: the shiny metal of the plate forming the base reflects the leg, producing the illusionary impression that the table is suspended and precariously balanced. Going back to their childhood, Calvi Brambilla drew inspiration from the playful principle of the roly-poly toy. The two designers successfully paired the idea of the toy with the vision espoused by Pianca, champion of an elegant, pared-back language punctuated by premium materials and finishes.

Experimentation on metal, which has always characterized Lust’s work, encounters Pianca’s experience in woodwor-king, giving life to a fluid and organic structure. The steel structure is sinuous thanks to its curves, and at the same time dynamic, giving the impression of having maintained the malleable consistency of the molding pro- cess the material underwent. With a fluid movement, the steel legs converge, suppor- ting the top, which seems to levitate. The myriad of finishings allows the tables – rectangular, round and elliptical – to adapt to different styles.

Woody features clean-cut, minimalist geometric shapes and astounding proportions. It can be all of three metres long without needing to be propped up along the way or interrupted. The top is made of a single plank with 45° bevelled edges. The straight, slim, solid wood legs slot into the top following its inclination. Woody’s rigorous, minimalist design can be custom-sized to the centimetre.

There is further collaboration with Emilio Nanni, who previously designed Haik and Asolo for Pianca. His architectural training and experience, combined with his versatile expression of his creativity as designer and artist, lead him to create iconic, highly eloquent designs, like the Maestro table. Perfectly balanced between the geometric concept and structural stability, Maestro affirms itself as the synthesis of those forces and achieves its style from this comparison and encounter. The segment becomes the main design feature, while, overall, it traces out a design that recalls the cross beams of architectural trusses. The structure is available in solid wood and painted metal, while the table top options are smoked glass, wood and natural cement.

Beauty, stability and elegance mingle in a mix of equilibria and materials from which Delta is born. The gently tapered base makes the table harmonious and light, while fulfilling a static function for a structure with ultimate stability and sturdiness. The table top perfectly exploits the table base surface. Overall the finished table looks light and unconfined, creating a sensation of openness and excellent use of space. Delta was designed to fit in with the look and function of a living room, kitchen or even a study.
