Kartell’s Masters
Naos’ Flying
Zanotta’s Canaletto
Dining Adaptability was the key message for dining. Whether it was a plethora of expandable dining tables, such as Zanotta’s Canaletto, or tables that performed more than one function, such as Naos’ Flying dining/cocktail table, practicality was central to many exhibitors. As has come to be expected, designers have been busy shaving thicknesses off legs and tabletops and producing angles that try to turn the furniture into art – why be dull when practical and style can go hand in hand. Arflex’s Octopus was a notable example, combining curves in the legs and tabletop. Above: SCP’s Peggy
