Astrum tables and the Caratos chairs designed by Antonio Citterio
Astrum
tables and the
Caratos
chairs - two important projects designed by Antonio Citterio forMaxalto
in 2017 - located in an elegant Parisian indoor space.The Astrum tables, rectangular and round, stand out for their particular “trestle” base. The supporting structure is made up of a single upright in pressure die-cast aluminium with a graphite-coloured or amber-coloured laquering. The table tops are proposed with different wooden or marble finishings.
The product is absolutely contemporary, and yet it reminds of some typical twentieth-century objects. It echoes the idea of bronze, through a “full” opaque finish that absorbs light and the use of high-quality leather upholstery gives it a distinct saddlery-style feel.
The Astrum table also stands out in the Maxalto collection thanks to the introduction of a die-cast structure, making it a versatile system whose multiple configurations generate tables of different shapes and sizes”.
