About this product
Architonic ID: 20738999
Year of Launch: 2021
Technology and art find a perfect union in the extraordinary conception of Avalon design.
Powerful iron plates are modeled through light segmentations of flat geometries, characterized by curvilinear, concave and convex shapes, and by a sequence of bold formal gestures that define the base of the table. We are facing a masterful example of how a minimalist structure can be strengthened by the power of its materials : from the authenticity of natural iron, combined with the archaic expressiveness of the annealed glass of the table top. The austere formalism of Avalon is contrasted with the dynamism of the base, while the top, made up of a glass disc, evokes a body of water with rippling movements, transporting us to a dreamlike extraterrestrial landscape.
Avalon, Roxy Music's last great album, is a staple of the 80s. In the same way, the homonymous table stands out for the boldness typical of those years, and at the same time recalls an older folklore, bordering on myth—the legendary island of Avalon, where Excalibur, King Arthur's renowned sword, was forged—especially thanks to the Pacific blue finish of the glass top. Placed under the ethereal molten glass disc, the powerful metal base unfolds like a flood, full of elegance and vital momentum.
Concept
Mauro Lipparini's Avalon table is a perfect synthesis of art and technology.
The important iron base, elegant in its mix of flat geometries, convex and concave lines, contrasts with the annealed glass top, whose finish is inevitably reminiscent of a rippling mirror of water. The combination of these materials allows the Avalon table, a name that recalls the myth of the island of Avalon, to be scenically perfect for furnishing any environment.

Mauro Lipparini
Italy
Mauro Lipparini graduated in 1980 from the University of Florence’s Department of Architecture where he has also been a faculty member. A leader and innovator in the style that has been called “natural minimalism,” Lipparini is a winner of the Young & Design Milano (Italy 1987) and International Du Pont Award Köln (Germany 1988 and 1989) international design competitions. Lipparini’s extensive work in the field of industrial design includes home and office furnishings, textiles, and other products created for a host of renowned European and Japanese firms. In the realms of architecture and interior design, Lipparini has concentrated primarily on private and public housing, retail and wholesale showrooms, and exposition installations. Lipparini also provides cutting-edge corporate identity construction services including graphic design, editorial, full-scale production, and product application. Lipparini’s style, rooted in the spare forms and clear, powerful lines that are the hallmarks of minimalism, is imbued with a spirit of joy, a buoyant sense of pleasure and possibility. Freely employing bold colors, organic textures, imaginative visual concepts, Lipparini broadens the palette of minimalism, conveying the immediacy and strength of the aesthetic into a new era.
