Construction
The body is ceramic made with an ancient artisanal technique in which the ceramic is fired again after vitrification. The underside carries a stainless-steel plate varnished matt black, and black protective felt glides are fitted.
Specifications
The table is offered in one size: 27 cm in diameter and 45 cm high.
Story
Rationalism in a cylinder
The page links the cylinder to the architectural elements that characterise Rationalism. The ceramic version turns that shape into a signature piece for indoor and open-air living spaces.
Fired twice
The technique named on the page is an ancient artisanal one: the ceramic is fired again after vitrification. The page describes the result as a kaleidoscopic range of eight nuances. Minotti lists Pilotis Ceramic in its 2024 Collection.
