Table with a conical base in rigid polyurethane, available in a selection of colors and finishes that enhance the sculptural lines of the design. This version without the subtop is conceived to meet the needs of more compact dimensions, without sacrificing elegance or versatility. The round base pairs with tops of various sizes, crafted in different materials and offered in a wide range of finishes and tones.
Clay Bistrot
Clay Bistrot interprets the archetype of the Clay table through more compact proportions, designed to accommodate smaller tops without altering its formal identity. The conical base retains its distinctive character, yet is recalibrated to engage with more contained surfaces, generating a precise and measured visual balance. The bistrot configuration emphasizes the verticality of the volume, reducing the footprint and allowing greater freedom of movement around the table. The result is an element with a recognizable presence, able to integrate naturally into dynamic spaces where compactness and character must coexist.
In Clay Bistrot, the reduced top has rendered the subtop—traditionally conceived as a supporting element—unnecessary. Removing this component allows the table to appear more essential and compact, emphasizing the purity of its lines and the visual lightness of the structure. The stability of the top is ensured by the precise calibration of the conical base, which supports the surface in balanced harmony. Additional anchoring points between top and base further secure the surface to its structure. The result is a table with a clean profile, where every element contributes to a measured presence without compromising solidity or harmony.
The intervention on dimensional scale reinforces the table’s functional vocation, making it suitable for bistrot configurations, lounge areas, or contract spaces. The synthesis of volume and surface results in an essential object, where pure geometry and construction precision define an immediately recognizable language. Whether placed in a small urban apartment or within a dynamic setting, this table stands out for its ability to combine aesthetics and practicality without compromise.
To accommodate smaller tops, the traditional supporting element is no longer needed, and the table immediately appears more essential and light. The conical base, precisely calibrated, supports the surface in a stable and secure way, while a few anchoring points keep everything firmly in place. The result is a table with a clean, compact, and harmonious profile, easy to fit into different spaces. Clay Bistrot does not take up space—it accompanies, allowing freedom of movement and a sense of visual lightness.
