ASTERIAS by Molteni & C
Asterias, a cactus that grows in the mountainous regions of Mexico, lends its name
to this new design from Patricia Urquiola. A generously-sized round table, featuring
a central base reminiscent of the cactus from which it takes its name. It consists of
six curved, wedge-shaped, wooden panels, applied protruding over the central plinth.
The panels are 3D printed. The top (160 or 180 cm) features a rounded edge subdivided,
in the wood version, into four wedges that give rise to an interesting geometric
pattern. The table can also be fitted with a practical accessory: a central Lazy Susan
turntable, very popular in Asian countries. Asterias is available in graphite oak, grey oak
and eucalyptus. Lacquered gloss or matt and with the innovative cement grout finish.
