Quaderna
Made by Zanotta
Il tavolo Quaderna di Zanotta è un'icona di Superstudio, disegnato tra il 1969 e il 1972 come parte di un'esplorazione radicale della geometria regolare e dei paesaggi artificiali. Il suo volume rigoroso, rivestito in laminato bianco stampato con una griglia nera, crea un oggetto immediatamente riconoscibile, che risulta sia neutro che concettualmente potente.
Il tavolo appartiene a una più ampia famiglia di arredi definiti da forme quadrate e dal laminato Misura creato da Abet Print specificamente per il progetto. Pulito, grafico e senza tempo, Quaderna porta la storia del design a livello museale in sale da pranzo, studi, gallerie e interni contemporanei con notevole disciplina visiva.
