What is immediately clear when we look at the XXX
coffee table range designed by Lapo Ciatti is the contrast between the fine
finishes and the shapes that are purposely irregular and unfinished.
Gold or nickel galvanic finishes coat the structure and the tops that are characterised by inaccurate contours and scratched surfaces.
XXX coffee tables are so made, perfect in their imperfection. The two different shapes (round or square) and sizes available in the range make them perfectly adaptable to all contexts, residential or contract.
“I dreamed of pieces with fuzzy edges, with labile and
undefined borders….pieces that can communicate, convey feeling – possibly not
restricted to visual feeling – without having to be perfect in line with the
canons…I had a desire, I needed to create unusual combination nobilitateing scratched surfaces and dented outlines by using precious
finishes”
