Bordering the surreal behind the glass. The Carlinas tables create lines fit for a gallery and set for the table.
Cheekily calling to Carlo Mollino’s influence on Oscar Tusquets, these tables were named Carlinas. The smoked glass tabletop exposes the supporting structures. Like Mollino’s nature-informed pieces, the Carlinas have twisting stretchers of wood. They triangulate on the side table and stabilise larger tables with a diagonal crossbar. The supports twist like entwined fingers, and legs come out of the table like bent knees.
