Created by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina, the Carlotta L.131 coffee table is part of a design tradition where constructive intelligence and generosity of use come together with disarming evidence. In its cobalt blue finish, it asserts a frank and luminous chromatic presence that immediately transforms the outdoor space into a territory of character, where color becomes material in its own right rather than mere ornament. Its innovative system of joints and assemblies, a discreet but decisive signature of the Scarpa project, gives the piece a structural strength that can be seen in the precision of each detail without ever betraying the visual lightness of the whole. In its large format, it naturally invites sharing: generous tray to put glasses, books and trays, a gathering surface around which the days outdoors find their rhythm. As right on a residential terrace carefully composed as in the outdoor spaces of a hotel or a place of reception, it is naturally associated with other pieces of the collection or dialogue with more contrasting universes. The cobalt blue Carlotta coffee table does not complete an outdoor space: it punctuates it.
