L45

The fundamental aspects of the project are contained in a single detail, around which all the work has been developed: the joint between the leg and the top, characterised by a contact reduced to an absolute minimum, based on the meeting up of the respective vertices. This construction is achieved through a precise structural gesture - the combination of two L-shaped profiles, which are cut at 45° to be joined at 90°, forming the table leg and the relative crosspiece. The latter, in its turn rotated 45° with respect to the flat surface on top of it, outlines a segment of emptiness that is associated with a portion of material removed. The resulting geometry creates the impression that the ends of the top are precariously resting on four single points, suggesting a fragile perceptual balance. The configuration of the angle varies according to the point of view, thanks to the alternation of surfaces and edges, which intersecting with inclinations of 90° and 45° interrupt the coplanar alignment between leg and top. The top, consisting of a simple parallelepiped, is the fundamental element that completes the entire structure, thanks to the relationship that is established between the edges positioned in perfect correspondence. Lastly, the series of different surfaces defines a sequence of facets that, accentuated by the contrast between light and shadow, adds a further interpretation of the dialogue between the different elements.
