Characterized by an essential and refined design, this piece stands out for its visual lightness and slender structure, as highlighted in the photograph. The polished aluminum base is a work of engineering, with slender, sinuous legs that crisscross in a play of perfect symmetry. This structure gives stability and at the same time a sculptural elegance. The colored technopolymer top (in the blue version pictured) is practical, durable and easy to clean, with a touch of color that makes it modern and suitable for both contemporary and classic settings. A distinctive detail is the top divided into two sections, which lends dynamism and originality to the overall design. Antonio Citterio is one of the most celebrated exponents of Italian design, famous for his refined approach that combines craftsmanship and technology. His collaboration with Glen Löw, known for his pragmatic and innovative style, has led to the creation of numerous cult objects. Kartell, founded in 1949, is a symbol of Made in Italy design, pioneering the use of plastics and light metals. Its ability to combine technology, functionality and aesthetics has made its products recognizable and coveted worldwide. A piece like the Leopoldo is not just a coffee table, but a tangible example of how 1990s design anticipated contemporary needs. Ideal as a versatile piece of furniture, it is a refined addition to any room, enhancing spaces with its discreet yet iconic aesthetic. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
