INTRODUCES
R24 Low Coffee Table
Collection: R24
Category: Tables and coffee tables
Low stools and side tables that are as light as they are resistant. R24 contributes with its versatility to create spaces to enjoy the outdoor environment accompanying from the subtlety of its fabric in a single material.
"The pieces of the R24 series stand out for their open and slender weave and are surprising for their ability to support a weight close to one hundred times their own."

Product description
R24 designs are handcrafted in India. Using 5 mm diameter stainless steel rods bent, intertwined and arranged, in a structured pattern, a weave is used to create a firm structure into a continuous skin. "The curves that make up the pieces are bent in the same plane. Then, the elements are organised and woven around the absent pyramidal body. The braiding manages to bring the threads into contact with each other and create a two-level mesh that distributes the stresses in a solidary manner," Valentini explains. The innovation of R24 lies in its ethereal support, achieved by dematerializing edges and substructures and avoiding the bracing rings to achieve continuity. The result is pieces that generate degrees of opacity and, in the particular case of the stools, emulate a kaleidoscopic and sculptural image when stacked.
As far as finishes are concerned, the R24 elements can be thermo-lacquered in all the standard tones of the GANDIABLASCO colour chart. The side table comes from the expansion of the support surface and the consequent inversion of the geometric volume of the original stool. This element has an extra-clear tempered glass top that is attached to the structure by means of Velcro.
