Description
Designed for Zanotta, the Alfare coffee table in seaweed is a piece that reconciles the noble roughness of cement with the precision of a carefully crafted design object. Its varnished cement top, whose textured relief pattern is the most immediately striking formal gesture, transforms a functional surface into a tactile territory, inviting the eye as much as the hand to linger on it. In its seaweed shade, it evokes a natural and deep palette, that dark and muted green that evokes the seabed and damp mosses, bringing to any living space an anchored and soothing chromatic presence at once, in instinctive dialogue with plant materials, the raw wood or natural flax that surround it. The base in varnished cement of the same shade unifies the silhouette into a coherent and assumed monolith, where the material expresses itself without detour or concession. In its diameter of 90 cm, it offers a generous surface that naturally structures a living room space, accommodating with the same ease a serving tray, a few carefully chosen books or an isolated sculptural object. As right in a residential interior with raw and contemporary materials as in a reception space that cultivates the authenticity of its choices, the Alfare Coffee Table Algae is a piece that fully assumes what it is, without seeking to appear something else.
