PONTI side table surprises with minimalist clarity, refreshing design and exciting contrasts. Elegant curves meet geometric rigour. A plain-coloured steel oval floats as light as a feather above the protective, earthy wooden cone. The lively ash grain and powder-coated tabletop harmonise in soulfully. PONTI feels good, visually, haptically and functionally. Creates space where it is needed.
Complements dining table, sofa and bed or enriches hallway, office or waiting area. The PONTI side table is available in walnut or ash and in a limited edition of 50 pieces. The Neapolitan city gate Porta Nolana gave the idea for the PONTI coffee table. An elegant minimalist, harmoniously playing with exciting contrasts, with sensual wood and plain steel, grounding and lightness. PONTI is available in ash or walnut and 5 plain colours for the table top.
The designer adapts the architectural fort components, flank towers and archways into an elongated cone with a seemingly floating tabletop. All wooden elements are created with manual cooperage skills on the artist's own lathe. The hand-oiled corpus and powdered steel plate are invisibly screwed together. For the body of the PONTI coffee table, the designer works with beautifully grained walnut wood from the French Vosges, or with carefully selected ash wood from sustainably managed forests in Germany.
The oval, 4 mm thick table top made of powdered steel is the joint work of two specialist metalworking companies near Daniel Heilig's studio workshop. For the tabletop, there is a finely curated selection of subtle and powerful, harmoniously coordinated plain colours.
