Contemporary table SATURNO

lacquered MDFValchromat®glass

With the Saturno collection, Alias renews its collaboration with the architect from Ticino, which began in the 1980s. The table and coffee table system are characterised by an architectural design in an artful interplay of solids and voids that gives the product lightness and visual dynamism. The solid central base characterises the entire collection: four mass-coloured MDF elements (available in black, light grey or brown “cioccolato”), are anchored to a shiny black powder-coated steel cylinder. The result is a sculptural structure, characteristic of Botta's architectural language, on which the table tops rest, available in various sizes and finishes. In the 72 cm height version the tabletop is available in three sizes (ø 140 cm, ø 160 cm, and ø 180 cm) and consists of a circular ring element offered in Carrara marble, acid-etched glass, or MDF in the same colour as the base. The tabletop, hollowed out in the centre, comes with a round transparent extra-clear glass insert, designed for those who wish to extend the usable surface. Like a skylight in architecture, this design allows light to pass through, illuminating the sculptural base and creating a refined interplay of transparencies. In the Saturno 48 coffee table, the single leg is proportionally smaller than the dining table and supports a top available in glass (acid-etched, smoked or extra-clear) or natural stone (Carrara marble, Val Camonica porphyry or Roman travertine).
