AGENDA
BURRACO
This games table is a throwback to yesteryear with a refined allure, which takes on a whole new value as we find ourselves with increased leisure time at home.
The round table top in natural fire-treated copper is characterised by the distinctive DeErosion finish, made even more special by the playful inclusion of the suits of the different playing cards. Four small serving trays can be extracted from beneath the table top when needed, for placing playing cards or a glass.
The table is rounded off with four organically-shaped stools, featuring a copper base and seat with velvet upholstery.
DROPS
Drops is a family of coffee tables in three different sizes, inspired by the unexpected, irregular shapes of water droplets on a surface. Their soft, familiar lines embody the skilled craftsmanship and artisan know-how of De Castelli, which has revived the traditional technique of manually hammering and shaping copper. The tables are thus a nod to a tradition that, given a contemporary interpretation, is manifested in products that harmoniously integrate with everyday settings.
The new DeNuance finish from De Castelli further enhances the copper tops, giving each piece an organic, natural look through the combination of fire, oxidation and pigments. DeNuance and Verderame breathe life into a fresh combination of tones inspired by water and the way it moves. De Castelli metals now have a new look, rich in depth and an infinite range of hues.
OPUS CERTUM
This project pays homage to the Palladian tradition by reinterpreting it from a contemporary perspective. The Palladian flooring, realised by juxtaposing various, irregular pieces of marble or other natural stones, is replaced by compositions devised into details and realised by bringing together traditional manual techniques and modern tools. The marble’s swirls and veins are juxtaposed with various patterns of coloured cement to design unique motifs.
Vague echoes the tradition by valorising the irregular, sinuous design of surfaces.
Dot is a play of contrasts, combining the irregular design of the background and the perfect circle drawn upon it.
Optic, finally, is characterised by pieces of the same marble assembled to form an optical illusion where lines are discontinuous and keep chasing one another without never meeting.
