Estratto collection explores the technical and narrative potential of extrusion as a continuous and potentially infinite process
Estratto is a collection of coffee tables and consoles designed by the Milan-based design studio Formafantasma. A family of pieces with a strong material identity. The collection explores the technical and narrative potential of extrusion as a continuous and potentially infinite process. The base of Estratto is composed of three concave aluminium extrusions that, when joined together, ensure structural stability while leaving the internal cavity empty, creating an elegant interplay of solids and voids. The joint between the elements generates a visual rhythm that highlights the transition between surfaces and contributes to the overall design of the collection. The concave shape modulates and reflects light, enhancing depth and three-dimensionality, while also allowing for easy and functional combinations. The extruded aluminium section allows to create coffee tables or consoles using one or more bases depending on the size of the tabletop. The three different heights and shapes allow the coffee tables to be placed side by side to create dynamic compositions. Tops are available in round, square or rectangular versions. In the square and rectangular versions, two edges fold slightly downwards, creating a continuous bend that defines the perimeter and introduces a distinctive detail. The lightness of aluminium, both physical and visual, makes the collection versatile and adaptable to different settings, both indoor and outdoor. “The name refers both to extrusion as a technical process and to the idea of extracting possibilities from a single generating element. Each piece is literally an extract of a continuous profile, but it is also the extraction of a specific function from a broader system.” — Formafantasma
