XILO TABLE – OVALIZED GLASS

DESIGN:    

The Xilo table is the brainchild of the Altacorte design center. The formal rigidity of its basic geometries is graced by subtle yet refined structural interventions within the base, lending a three-dimensional feel to the form. The table on display features an exclusive top with an insert of fossilized river wood, characterized by particular sediments that make each element unique thanks to the millennia-old fossilization of water. The fossil wood is extracted manually from the sand and gravel of riverbeds that have buried and preserved the trunks for over 6,000 years. The oldest trunks are over 8,000 years old and are characterized by very dark hues. The most notable characteristic of fossil wood is the natural uniqueness that characterizes each trunk in terms of color intensity, pattern, and nuance, ensuring that no two pieces are alike.
