Colosseo Small tables

Description

Colosseo gehört zu einer Produktkategorie, die sich großer Beliebtheit erfreut: den Ergänzungsmöbeln. Diese Einrichtungselemente haben je nach Aufstellung und Bedarf eine andere Funktion, im Fall von Colosseo z.B. Beistelltisch oder Hocker. Während der Entwurfsphase erzielte Fukasawa das gewünschte Aussehen ausgehend von einem umgedrehten Kegelstumpf, der durch charakteristische, bogenförmige Vertiefungen verfeinert wird. Sie erinnern an die berühmte römische Arena, von der auch der Name stammt. Die Tische Colosseo bestehen aus hartem Polyurethan mit Glanzlackierung in sechzehn Farben und sind in zwei Größen erhältlich: Durchmesser 40 cm x 45 cm Höhe und Durchmesser 45 cm x 49 cm Höhe.

Back
Concept

«Like the Harbor armchairs that are carved out from an upside down conical mass, these small tables were originally made by the same process. However they looked rather too solid and heavy so I shaved off some of the mass, then its arches resembled the Roman arches of Colosseum.»
