Ten years after its debut, Clay continues to represent one of the purest expressions of Desalto’s design language. To celebrate this anniversary, a limited edition has been created, enhancing its material and sculptural essence.
Ten years of Clay signify a decade of presence in the world of design, during which its essential form has become a point of reference. The two primary geometries that compose it — the conical base and the circular top — do not stem from decorative intent but from a logic of purity: a carefully calibrated interplay of solids and voids, tension and stability. Its immediate and sculptural language has, over the years, defined a new way of conceiving mass and balance, transforming a furniture archetype into an object rich with meaning.

Ecco la traduzione in inglese del nuovo testo, mantenendo lo stile evocativo e tecnico: To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Desalto has chosen to reinterpret Clay with an exclusive metallic top. This finish, the result of meticulous craftsmanship, transforms the surface into a field of shifting and layered reflections. Light does not simply rest on the table: it passes through it, animates it, and reshapes it. Every change in intensity and direction creates new glimmers, new depths, and new readings of the volume. The material becomes a language, the surface an orchestration of controlled vibrations — a perfect balance between expressive strength and aesthetic subtlety.
TEN PIECES FOR A UNIQUE ANNIVERSARY
Marking this milestone, a limited
edition of only ten numbered pieces has been produced. Not merely a
special series, but a declaration of uniqueness: each piece is
individually crafted, finished, and inspected, assuming its own visual
identity. These ten Clay tables encapsulate everything the project has
become over ten years: a manifesto of contemporary balance, a tribute to
the capacity of design to traverse time without being diminished,
constantly renewing its significance.
