Poised on a slim metal stem, Comodo can be used as an occasional table, at bedside, as a serving tray or simply as a stash for hiding treasures. Its designer, Achille Castiglioni, a big fan of sweets, supposedly used his as a deluxe candy box. Featuring a lidded compartment made of solid and veneered oak in a choice of natural or black, Karakter’s multipurpose piece is mounted off-center on its black powder-coated steel stand with a asymmetrical flourish at the base.
