Pedrali presents Anemos, the new table designed by Pio & Tito Toso


Presented on the occasion of the 61st Salone del Mobile.Milano, Anemos is the new table by Pio & Tito Toso characterised by simple and architectural shapes designed to enhance the materiality of concrete, giving it a new expressive style.

The distinctive feature of Anemos is the base, composed by two separate concrete shells secured to the top. Like a structural membrane, these elements free themselves from their image of intrinsic weight and, through a double curvature, take on a flexible and sinuous shape. This very shape allows the thickness of the concrete to be left to a minimum. The result is a table that seems sculpted by the wind, visually light yet stable and solid due to its significant weight, capable of supporting large tops

"In conceiving this table, we were inspired by the work of the famous Italian architect and engineer Pier Luigi Nervi, the first to have thought of concrete no longer as a trilithic system of pillars and beams. Pier Luigi Nervi reinterpreted the material starting from a membrane concept, discovering that the latter bears loads and forces much better and then discharges them to the ground, and this is what we also did when we designed the base of Anemos" the designers explain.
Its materiality is enhanced by its tactile and chromatic characteristics, which create a shaded matte surface in concrete or clay hues. This concept is emphasised in the monochrome configuration, ideal for outdoors. The glossy lacquered solid laminate top, on the other hand, as well as the one in Fenix, allows in indoor contexts to play with different colours, obtaining very interesting chromatic contrasts.

As the designers say: "Anemos is a product that is nice to touch, to feel. In this case, our attention was also focused on the relationship with the user, as well as with the space. How the table fits into its surroundings, how it integrates and how it harmonises projects in space is also reflected on the user, who perceives this harmony in a direct way".

Anemos is a versatile, universal table that perfectly fits indoor and outdoor environments, suitable for residential spaces and meeting areas.
