Description
We are often misled and misguided to believe that engaging in luxury involves sacrificing any sense of practicality or versatility. The new worlds of contemporary design that we enter into are, more often than not, here to challenge the rules and to guide us towards new ways of thinking. The Katania table is such an example of modern design. Refusing to be typecast on either side of this debate, this undeniably sleek and modern piece is both a homage to and a pioneer of utilitarian design.
The form and structure of the piece pays visual tribute to the workers bench of carpenters or joiners, of hands-on design and practical workmanship. Yet it counterbalances this nostalgic nod with an undeniable sleek contemporaneity through its use of precisely formed glass legs that operate in certain and assured geometric lines. The wooden joins (available in a range of different finishes) again reaffirm this pieces inherited influence, whilst providing a pleasing organic feature. The vast glass table top then gives this piece a bright and quintessentially modern finish through its bold simplicity. Worlds collide but do not conflict with this piece, rather they find common ground and the results are nothing short of astounding.
