Exploring the dynamic nature of water in an interior design project means imagining a visual and sensory journey that stems from observing the physical qualities of this element. First and foremost, its role as a chromatic filter. The Aqua experience in discovering the optical properties of water is a journey that takes the visitor through various depths, from a scene illuminated by green-blue light to one that gradually shifts from violet to deep blue.

Aqua is a realm where tranquility and vitality meet. It is an immersive experience where water becomes an inspiring principle and a design concept. Just as water constantly changes depending on light and its container, the new spaces of Archiproducts Milano evoke the fluidity of life itself. Among colors and transparencies, Aqua is a harmonious blend of form and function, where reflective surfaces and plays of light transform and renew environments—an exploration of interior design where furnishings evoke shapes and materials inspired by the aquatic element.

The materials and furnishings are colored in a variety of shades, from fresh white, soft aqua green, and light blue to intense ultramarine, brilliant electric blue, and the darker hues of the deep sea.

The idea behind the Aqua interior design project revolves around the choice of lighting and materials that refer in various ways to the effects of light on water, between reflections and transparencies. Hence the use of translucent and reflective surfaces like metal, glass, ceramics, and mirrors.

The HEB table by Desalto, designed by Francesco Rota, is a masterpiece of contemporary design that combines aesthetics and functionality. The metal structure is characterized by clean lines and essential geometric shapes, giving the table a modern and minimalist appearance. The table's deep blue color evokes the depths of the sea, creating a strong visual impact and a suggestive atmosphere.
