DIAGRAMMA COFFEE TABLE

At once graphic and sculptural, yet eminently practicable, the family of Diagramma Coffee Tables become the iconic protagonist of any living space. The interplay of solid and void, partnered with the asymmetrical nature of the piece means that it commands any situation.Â

Diagramma Family Of Coffee Tables
A striking flowering of the budding partnership between the house of Minotti and master designer Giampiero Tagliaferri, the Diagramma range embodies both the designer’s intimate knowledge of the life-well-lived and the Minotti Studio’s passion for craftsmanship. The results are simply astounding.
Clean, yet asymmetrical and multifaceted, lines, encased in a high metal band, broken by voids, provide a sculptural element. The choices of either marble or glass, partnered with the striking geometric shaping and metal elements create a design at once classic and utterly modern.
The reflective surfaces, either highly-polished marble or glass, and burnished metal enhance and emphasise the geometric appeal of the piece. The play of light and reflection draws the eye towards the table, demanding attention: simply the centrepiece of any space.
Within the irregular yet harmonious geometries lies the expression of Tagliaferri’s true design genius in the Diagramma Coffee Table range. Not only is the interplay of light reflection, void and solid shape deeply sculptural, it is eminently functional.
Statuesque Practicality
Within the elegant geometries of each, the inbuilt voids provide ample storage space, bringing books and objects into the artistry. This practical element, disguised as artistic flair, marks the Diagramma family out as the work of Tagliaferre.
Further, the structural elements and stout construction techniques of the Minotti Studio allow the Diagramma range to play double service. Not only a striking table and sculptural centrepiece for any room, they may stand as an a-functional seating solution too.
The Diagramma Range
Not only formed of coffee tables, the Diagramma range also contains a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic writing desk. A metal band, similar to the one surrounding the Diagramma Coffee Tables, encases a wooden writing surface. This elegant construction sits upon two blades, loaning a modern twist to a classic design.
Contrasting with the coffee tables from the family, the overall effect is one of sculptural lightness, at once matching and departing from the solidity of its partners.
A Variety Of Contexts
With such a bold and sculptural design, Diagramma Coffee Tables quickly become the focal point of any space. Drawing the eye to them through considered geometric shape and reflective qualities, we are then drawn beyond them to our compatriots in the space.
The ideal focal point in cosy residential settings, where its blend of sculpture and practicality are equally welcomed. Concurrently, the Diagramma range also finds an easy home in intimate hospitality spaces, where their reflective qualities can lend impact.
