Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Exteta Moonlight C Coffee Table?

The Moonlight C was designed by Massimo Castagna, a Milan-based architect and designer whose work consistently merges structural logic with refined materiality. His relationship with Exteta is long-standing, producing pieces that treat outdoor furniture as an extension of interior architecture.

What makes the C-shaped profile functional in outdoor settings?

The C-profile allows the table to slide partially beneath a sofa or lounge chair, bringing the surface closer to the user without requiring a larger footprint. This makes it especially useful in composed outdoor arrangements where spatial economy and visual clarity are both priorities.

Is the Moonlight C suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Exteta designs its pieces for genuine outdoor conditions, selecting materials and finishes for resistance to weather and UV exposure. The Moonlight C is made to order, and specific material options should be confirmed with a design consultant to match the intended climate and environment.

What is Exteta's design philosophy for outdoor furniture?

Exteta, the Italian outdoor furniture brand, approaches exterior spaces with the same compositional rigor applied to interiors. The brand works with architects and designers to produce pieces that hold their formal integrity in open-air contexts, prioritizing proportion, craft, and contextual dialogue over purely decorative intent.

How does the Moonlight C relate to other pieces in the Moonlight collection?

The Moonlight collection by Massimo Castagna for Exteta explores a consistent formal vocabulary centered on geometric clarity and quiet presence. The C variant is distinguished by its asymmetric profile, which sets it apart functionally and compositionally from other tables in the family.
