Overview
Nastro is formed by the intersection of two curved rectangular metal bands. Coffee tables come in 55 × 50 cm and 80 × 80 cm sizes; the range also includes two consoles.
Construction
Bent and welded stainless-steel and metal sheets create the structure. Coffee-table sheets are 3 mm thick, with satin, polished and glossy painted surfaces arranged in combinations A and B.
Specifications
The selected compact table measures 55 × 50 × H45 cm. Its aluminium base is 10 mm thick and matt black, with felt glides and optional 15 or 30 mm ABS foot pads for rugs.
Story
Ribbon-like intersections
Giampiero Tagliaferri reduces Nastro to two thin, curved rectangular bands. Their crossing creates open volumes for books or objects while turning the alternating inner and outer surfaces into the table's visual structure.
Finish as geometry
Minotti alternates deep-satin, polished stainless-steel and glossy painted faces to emphasise the three-dimensional construction. The larger console adds a third element, and one console combination introduces Licorice brushed ash on an outer face.
