Story
Marble and tropical butterflies
Zanotta presents Graphium as two coffee tables inspired by graphism and symmetry, and by two natural elements, marble and tropical butterflies. The wing beat's ethereality meets the solidity of stone in a solid marble top on a slender, organic steel structure.
A formal and conceptual oxymoron
García Cumini describes the result in its own words: "We imagined what we like to call a formal and partly conceptual oxymoron."
