The conference table is a unique piece, purposely designed for the client and realized by craftsmen working with steel, wood and leather. The chance followed an interior design assignment, where the client asked for a design piece for the meeting room: taking note that with the budget available for purchasing a medium/high product it would have been possible to design and realize a made to measure table, the opportunity was immediately grasped. The selected materials are consciously diverting from the transparencies and the high-tech styles that are dominating the catalogues, instead the stained steel and the leather, elements of matter, remind of ancient arts and crafts. Although, at the same time, the shape of the object composition is strongly contemporary, with thin surfaces and sharp edges that define the clear proportions between the base (650x325x650mm) and the plate (2600x1300x100mm), sustaining a 15mm thick MDF panel artificial leather-covered. The preference not to orientate towards a hi-tech style does not meant to overlook the technological contents since, thanks to the elevated pavement and the hollow post of the base, the electrical and computer network has different connections directly to the steel cut through the base, and even a serial or mass production could reduce the costs even more.
