B&B Italia - Parallel Structure table
Monolithic, pure and dry presence that rejects any mannerism, the Parallel Structure table, starting from its name, proposes a design approach of architectural matrix, where the search for extreme simplicity is accompanied by cutting-edge technical solutions. The project’s starting point is the strong presence of two imposing aluminium bars simply joined by two side bridges. The legs are in solid wood, while the side decks - real lintels that connect the colored bars of aluminum - hide a metal core, necessary to provide strength and greater visual lightness to the whole structure. The collection includes two sizes and tops in different materials: walnut and oak in different finishes, for a choice that favors a minimal aesthetic, or extra light glass, which through transparency enhances the beauty of the engineering process.
