The nomos meeting is an absolute icon of contemporary design, designed in 1980 by british architect norman foster for tecno s.p.a.
it is not just a table, but a true structural system that revolutionized the way we conceive office and executive furniture, so much so that it was awarded the prestigious compasso d'oro award in 1987 and is now exhibited in the permanent collections of international museums, including the moma in new york.
the structure is composed of chromed steel tubes and die-cast aluminum joints, with entirely metal-to-metal connections that guarantee absolute solidity and unparalleled durability.
its design is both technical and organic: tecno describes it as a zoomorphic form, with the central spine supporting the slanted legs, inspired by the landing gear of the apollo lunar module (lem). This combination gives the table a futuristic look, light yet powerful, a perfect balance between engineering and sculpture.
the piece presented here is the rare and spectacular xl version with a 340 x 140 cm tabletop, capable of seating up to 14 people. This monumental configuration, designed for large meeting rooms and reception areas, immediately conveys prestige and authority.
another distinctive aspect of the nomos is its versatility: the structure can accommodate tabletops of various sizes and materials, offering endless customization options.
this piece is supplied without a tabletop, leaving the customer free to choose between extra-clear or smoked glass to enhance the transparency of the structure, or more precious materials such as marble, stone, or wood, to create a unique, bespoke version.
the nomos meeting is considered not only a design masterpiece but also a cultural manifesto: a piece of furniture that embodies norman foster's high-tech vision and tecno's innovative capacity.
even today, more than forty years after its conception, it remains an essential reference for architects, designers, and collectors around the world.
