Vicino table

coffee tables

As in all Foster+Partners designs, the hi-tech component is essential for its development.
The basic idea is that of a small table which, thanks to sideways movable tops, can act not only as a surface for objects, but also as a device for bringing whatever is required into the foreground. The frame, made of red, pewter or bronze lacquered steel, conceals a sophisticated mechanism for the traverse movement of the slim but structurally effective marble or eucalyptus table tops.

Foster + Partners

Foster + Partners is one of the most innovative architectural and integrated design studios in the world. Since its founding in 1967, the studio promoted a sustainable approach to architecture, with a wide variety of projects including urban planning, public infrastructure, airports, civic and cultural buildings, offices and workplaces, private houses and product design. Its architects and engineers combine their knowledge to develop integrated solutions for sustainable design by working together creatively from the project’s beginning. Foster + Partners and Molteni&C deal with each project eclectically through the use of innovative materials and technologies such as the Arc table with its lightweight concrete base, or the Teso coffee table where the production technique was totally reinvented.
