Aster for Molteni&C
2023
The Aster coffee table is the ultimate expression of
compositional rationality and craftsmanship. A unique object made entirely by hand,
a contemporary work of art that combines aesthetics and functionality.
Each table has a slightly different connotation, testifying to its handcrafted nature.
Its base features a brass casting made with an earth mould that gives it the
sophisticated hammered effect. The ring is mounted to the legs by welding. A vibratory finishing technique completes the aesthetics. With the help of stones, the
structure is gently smoothed, giving it a wavy effect.
The top is made of annealed glass with a thickness of 1.9 cm and features a slight
ripple in the lower area that adds personality. Again, the manufacturing technique
is extremely meticulous: the sheet is placed in a mould with a textured bottom and
fused at 180° C, giving the glass its distinct finish.
Aster is available in two sizes: 50 cm in height with a 40 cm top in diameter, or 40 cm
by 50 cm. Finishes are available in polished brass or black patinated brass, while the
top can be customised in smocked glass or green.
