Specifications
The reference model, code 0BRTTB130, measures 130 W x 110 D x 34 H cm.
Story
Art Brut and Brutalism
Tacchini describes Brut as a table with strong references to Art Brut, spontaneous and informal, and to Brutalist architecture, in the accentuated and massive volumes and in concrete, a material that can be only partially controlled.
A processual object
The low table is made with a cast aluminium top and concrete legs. Tacchini calls it a processual object in which the material prevails over the forms, and quotes Sironi on sharing with the company a desire to experiment and go beyond conventions in search of an authentic aesthetic.
