With the precision of its contours, Serenissimo translatesthe concept of the table into a graphic composition with fourcolumns and a horizontal steel bar that makes the table topappear to float. In line with Lella and Massimo Vignelli’s originaldesign, it is an object that expresses itself through its geometryand materials: basic shapes characterised by metallic finishes orsoft encaustic tones.StructureThe structure consists of 4 cylindrical bases (Ø 28 cm) made witha steel tube, painted in either a gun-metal grey or orbital bronzefinish, or, in Encausto’s more tactile variations, in the coloursterracotta, green, and white. The metal frame that holds togetherthe 4 bases and supports the table top is painted micaceousgrey.TopThe tops are available in either a square or rectangular versionand in the following finishes:_ transparent glass, float glass plate characterized bytransparency.

Thickness 15 mm;_ lacquered frosted white glass, float glass plate withacid-etched upper side (silky effect to the touch), andback-lacquered lower side. Thickness 15 mm.Encausto: also known as “Venetian stucco”, encausto usesa highly sophisticated technique in which a fine sand plasteris applied in successive layers, the last of which is colouredwith natural earth. In this stage a fluidmalleable mixture oflimewash is used to burn the colour, changing it as it dries (infact, “encausto” is a Latin term that derives from the Greek word“enkaustikos” or “to burn in”). In the “tallocciatura” phase, whichrefers to the process of manually smoothing the plaster throughthe skilful use of a spatula, the coloured mixture is unevenlyincorporated in the plaster, giving the surface the characteristicappearance of this ancient artisan tradition.SizeRectangular: L250xD120 - L300xD120 - L350xD120.Square: L160xD160 - L180xD180 - L200xD200.H72 cm.
