The roundness of volumes and the lightweight of thicknesses embodies a game of contrasts and lights that make the Joint collection of modern coffee and side tables seductive and unique.
The subtle and refined base is made of brushed brass and guarantees a sophisticated visual lightness. The key element of this collection of coffee tables for the living room is the solid Canaletta walnut joint. The top supports and the metal feet are fixed to this central decorative element in solid wood and create a pleasant contrasting effect in terms of the colours and the materials used. This gorgeous frame is completed by an elegant round glass or marble top, available in various finishes. These sophisticated coffee tables stand out in a modern living room, combined with other elements of the Porada day collection.
Maurizio Marconato – 1961 and Terry Zappa – 1963 were both born in Como. They studied architecture at Politecnico di Milano University, where they graduated with honours in 1986. After few years of experience, in 1991 they founded Studio Marconato & Zappa Architetti Associati. They have worked in the design field since 1981, creating products for major home and office furniture companies, working together through all the steps of bringing a design to the market, from the main concept to the marketing, and supporting them with graphic, photography and creation of exhibition stands.
