This inspiration is reflected in the table's design, which explores forms in a graphic and striking way, while also incorporating emotional elements that are always present in the designer's creations.
As part of the Graphic collection, the Fan table is produced with Brazilian stones and features minimalist and expressive pieces that use the raw material in a light and unique way. The result is a piece of furniture that is bold, timeless, and a functional object that also serves as a work of art. - Project Duration
