Overview
Diagramma is a family of coffee tables by Giampiero Tagliaferri for Minotti. Minotti says they come from a graphic sign that makes them dynamic and versatile. The shapes are irregular and multifaceted, and the page calls them plastic spatial sculptures.

Construction
A high metal band, 5 mm thick, encloses an upper and a lower top and breaks off to create storage compartments. The upper top is recessed and flush-set in marble, glass paste or veneered MDF; the lower top is MDF, and the base is MDF in matt black lacquer with adjustable ABS feet.
Specifications
The technical sheet draws three coffee tables, all 28 cm high. The 130 x 130 cm table is 130 cm wide, 130 cm deep and 28 cm high.
Story
Solids and voids
The official text describes the result of the metal band as an interplay of solids and voids, with a variety of materials that emphasise the aesthetics of the piece. The openings in the band hold the storage compartments.

A family beyond the coffee table
The family also includes a writing desk in which a metal band embraces the wooden top, resting on two blades that give it a light appearance. The range links on the page add a sideboard and further Diagramma Wood pieces. Minotti lists Diagramma in its 2024 Collection.
