Avalon
Dining tables from Arketipo, Designed by Mauro Lipparini
Product description
Technology and art find a perfect union in the extraordinary conception of Avalon design.
Powerful iron plates are modeled through light segmentations of flat geometries, characterized by curvilinear, concave and convex shapes, and by a sequence of bold formal gestures that define the base of the table. We are facing a masterful example of how a minimalist structure can be strengthened by the power of its materials : from the authenticity of natural iron, combined with the archaic expressiveness of the annealed glass of the table top. The austere formalism of Avalon is contrasted with the dynamism of the base, while the top, made up of a glass disc, evokes a body of water with rippling movements, transporting us to a dreamlike extraterrestrial landscape.
Avalon, Roxy Music's last great album, is a staple of the 80s. In the same way, the homonymous table stands out for the boldness typical of those years, and at the same time recalls an older folklore, bordering on myth—the legendary island of Avalon, where Excalibur, King Arthur's renowned sword, was forged—especially thanks to the Pacific blue finish of the glass top. Placed under the ethereal molten glass disc, the powerful metal base unfolds like a flood, full of elegance and vital momentum .

Concept
Mauro Lipparini's Avalon table is a perfect synthesis of art and technology.
The important iron base, elegant in its mix of flat geometries, convex and concave lines, contrasts with the annealed glass top, whose finish is inevitably reminiscent of a rippling mirror of water. The combination of these materials allows the Avalon table, a name that recalls the myth of the island of Avalon, to be scenically perfect for furnishing any environment.
