Triclinio
Triclinio is a White ‘Ostuni’ Limestone seat, inspired by the classic world of sitting, on which
the guests would sit while sharing meals. This element, transposed in a contemporary key, becomes a monolithic bench shaped by a
single block of tender white stone according to sinuous shapes that echo the classicism,
obtained, however, digging the material by means of CNC machines.
Hidden in the thickness of the lithic mass, a mat allows the lithic floor, discretized in square tiles,
to cushion and support the movements of the user.
