Designed by Roberto Sironi as part of his ongoing collaboration with Tacchini, the Pietraforma coffee table is located at this rare frontier where design ceases to be solely functional and becomes a sensitive experience, an object that we look at as much as we use it, and which durably transforms the reading of a space. The Orobico marble top, with its deep veining where red, gray and black intertwine in an almost pictorial movement, rests on wooden supports whose grain silently dialogues with the minerality of the stone: two living materials, two temporalities, the same logic of presence. It is precisely in this balance between the organic irregularity of the stage and the architectural essentiality of the legs that lies Sironi’s signature, a thought of controlled contrast, where formal tension becomes a source of contemplation rather than contradiction. La Pietraforma integrates itself with a quiet authority in the most demanding projects: apartments of character, management spaces, lobbies of hotels with strong identity or premium showrooms, it structures a living room without ever weighing it down, looking towards the material and letting the space breathe around it. Each piece, by the very nature of marble, is a unique piece, a rare way in the world of contemporary furniture to have an object that carries time, the memory of matter, and the hand of those who shaped it.
Tacchini is an Italian designer furniture brand created in 1967 by Antonio Tacchini, at a time when Italian design was disrupting global design. It went on to become the leading institution in terms of quality and creativity. The strength of its concept is found at every step of Tacchini Italia's creative process. The brand goes so far as to explain this in their own words: "from the abstraction of thought to the three-dimensional nature of the object, to embody the essence of the home." A family business passed down the generations, Tacchini Italia is constantly progressing; it ensures ties with contemporary style, enhanced by the choice of high-quality materials and ever-improving technologies.
