Table

“I imagined Table to try to define a new concept; to reinterpret the idea of the counter through the table, as a sign of greater sharing between user and operator, redefining with its presence, even in the center of the room, the space that welcomes it.

The counter traditionally divides the operator from the client with a logic of spatial separation. The table, on the other hand, through the element of the top and its generous functional dimensions, explores a new approach in the ho.re.ca. sector; the refrigerated horizontal and vertical display cases in heated glass seem to rest on the top itself, where people can serve themselves independently, also thanks to the possibility of their automated opening.

Formally, Table is expressed through the synthetic elements of the table; the top and the legs. These elements take on great strength thanks to the work done on their proportions and the large step between one support and the other. The table invites you to gather around it and to lean on its top; it invites you to touch its surface always emanating a tactile sensorial perception.

In this sense, I believe, Matteo Brioni's choice of raw earth is the ideal one to transfer that sense of natural well‐being to the people who will use it.

Of course, like the whole philosophy of the new Ciam products, Table is designed to be customized with different sizes, technological accessories and materials.

Its sign has a strong presence and is able to strongly characterize the space around it; it is space itself."
