Description

With its pure, monolithic presence, which rejects all forms of mannerism, the Parallel Structure table – as the name suggests – offers an architectural approach to design, in which the pursuit of extreme simplicity is accompanied by cutting-edge technical solutions. The project’s starting point is the strong textural presence of two imposing aluminium bars joined simply by two side supports. The legs are solid wood, while the side bridges – architraves connecting the coloured aluminium bars – hide a metal core which provides solidity and greater visual lightness to the frame. The collection includes two sizes and tops in various materials: canaletto walnut and oak in different finishes for a minimalist style choice, or extra light glass, whose transparency enhances the beauty of the engineering process.
