Contemporary dining table Octa

Octa comes from the Greek word “okto” meaning eight: the number of legs that make up the elaborate base of the Octa dining table, metal elements that intersect in an apparently disordered way. This idea arose from playing with Shanghai sticks, an age-old pastime that suggests an idea of chaos and turmoil, lightness and randomness. The top can be fixed or extendable, and is available in a wide range of materials and finishes; in the round version, the table is fixed and made of glass or ceramic. In the fixed rectangular and barrel versions, veneered and solid wood finishes for the top are available. Its image, in contrast with the base, is sober and linear. The overall result is an almost molecular equilibrium for a decidedly unusual and elegant table, able to characterise the space with a sought-after and contemporary meaning: that of a sign that becomes an object.
