Soda coffee table
Soda was born upside-down, with a puff of air. It weighs 20 kilos, and it is blown, drawn out and shaped by three master glassmakers. The result is a single volume of glass with three large petals forming the stem.
In Soda, the glass vibrates: its tough, hammered surface fragments its transparency to give a primitive aesthetic. This is artistic value granted to an industrial product.

Rificolona
Rotate, recycle, illuminate
Rificolona arrives hanging by a thread, to share a playful and creative spirit embodied by its materials: the shade, crafted mainly from recycled polyethylene, rotates in dialogue with the light, its density modified with a transparent spray. Rificolona delicately hovers over the elements in your living space, tilting according to necessity or the light desired at any given time of day.

Kolos coffee table
This is not a souvenir
Kolos is formed in a plaster mould in a pottery where craftsmen apply the glaze and then fire the table. Although shiny and polished to the touch, the material it is made of is evident. The corners absorb less colour and become paler while the pigments are concentrated in the rounded areas, making them darker. Kolos therefore forms a highly decorative side table, combining its function as a furnishing accessory with an artistic value to form a showpiece. Its eccentric aesthetic represents an ironic interpretation of the architecture of the Colosseum.
We started to experiment with Murano glass in the 1970s and, even if the generations have changed, the glass is blown as it once was: it needs a master glassblower and two strong lungs. Working with this material every day is like revisiting a traditional dish. The ingredients are the same but there is something new in the taste.

Botera armchair
A cloud with a backrest
Padded with four different types of foam, Botera’s design focuses on comfort. A chunky cushion forms the base from which the high or low backrest is developed, making this armchair ideal for use in modular arrangements. And it is precisely through its compositions that Botera brings people together and encourages them to socialise, breaking down the final boundaries between home and contract settings to create a soft, personal, hybrid space. Botera loves being in company, especially in public spaces, but at home it also enjoys being on its own.
Illo coffee table
Celebrating Pop
In its occasional table version, Illo looks even cuter. With its reduced volumes, it is reminiscent of gym weights, but don't worry, you don't have to lift it! It comes as a pair of tables, and their light-hearted, authentic look are a textbook example of lightness.
