Exhibitions In the run-up to the Salone 2023: a selection of tables Text by Laura Barsottini Add to bookmarks Frigerio, Elly, design Gabriele & Oscar Buratti, photo courtesy The designers of 2022 for dining tables, coffee and side tables have focused on contrasting materials, stylistic simplicity and the alternation of voids and solids The table is perhaps the humblest piece of furniture in the places where we spend most of our time. Homes, offices, but also meeting rooms or hangouts. The dining table and its sidekicks the coffee table and side table have a significant functional importance in our lives, leaving little room for creative imagination. Or rather, it does not allow us to ignore the rules of size and the laws of gravity. Precisely for this reason, the designers of the models presented in the previous editions of the Salone del Mobile.Milano devised innovative solutions, especially in the combinations of materials and variations in finish, often playing on contrasts. So leather is combined with marble, solid wood changes thickness in structural construction, glass alternates with metal. Here we present a selection of products as we look forward to discovering all the novelties at the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2023.
