Overview
Desco is a 2022 family of tables by Antonio Citterio. Flexform joins a traditional turned-leg reference with restrained geometry, functional variety and carefully resolved construction details.
Construction
Turned timber supports are made in one of three published species, paired with veneer or marble tops. Cast-aluminum tips finish the legs, and thermoplastic pieces provide floor contact.
Specifications
Representative code: 02A282. Dimensions: 160 cm diameter × 74 cm high. The sheet contains eighteen dining-table codes across round, oval and rounded rectangular plans.
Story
Tradition reconsidered
Flexform describes Desco through stability, function and a reinterpretation of tradition. Turned solid-wood legs supply the familiar reference, while the clean top profiles and metal foot details sharpen the construction.
A broad table programme
The family spans dining and low-table formats. Within the dining sheet, two timber-base groups cover compact circles, larger round and oval tables, and elongated plans, all held at a consistent height.
