Sustainability can be planned by blending simple shapes with efficient manufacturing

technologies to process materials. This is how Duetto came to be, starting from a mere

sheet of metal. The designer’s intuition plays with full and empty spaces and on the

concept that a small table must be primarily the companion of a multitude of daily

activities.

This table is made by applying laser technology to a 3-mm thick, ¼ square metre large

sheet of metal. The tabletop is achieved by cutting a square or round shape out of the

centre of sheet metal, depending on the type of table desired. The metal is then folded

to form the base of the table while the top is welded over it. The table is then protected

with epoxy paint and finished with water-based varnishes.

We believe that work and producing furniture should be done in a sustainable and

healthful way. That´s way we were the first who use water-based glossy lacquers

instead of polyurethane varnishes. For our employees’ health and to reduce pollution in

the home. Our factories are 60% self-sufficient in terms of energy consumption, thanks

to the use of photovoltaic solar panels. Offcuts are used to produce energy to heat

kilns, and our packaging systems are 100% recyclable.
