About this product
Architonic ID: 20706507
SKU: CS4141-FE 250
Year of Launch: 2022
The challenge posed by the Seashell table was to use a new material for the base: cement.
People often associate cement with “heaviness and solidity” both visually and physically, but we have re-imagined it to make it lighter and sturdy at the same time.
We went for a soft sleek shape that takes its cues from the organic forms of nature, especially that of a shell with all its curves, ridges and furrows, whose structural solidity is belied by the incredibly fragility of the material it is made from.
Thus, cement takes on a new aesthetic and functional meaning; the central base is an ideal solution and changes appearance according to the position you are looking from.
Halfway between inspired creativity and functionality, this lightweight and sturdy table speaks to the soul. An ordinary everyday object has been transformed into a simple yet spectacular sculpture.

He was commissioned by Assarredo to design the setup and coordinated image for the Italy Pavilion at the International Furniture Fair in Cologne in 1992 and 1993, and also in 1992, the Italian Pavilion at the Interieur fair in Vienna. In 1993, he took part in the Dirattan exhibition in Milan and in 1994 in the "Progetti e Territori" exhibition at the Abitare il Tempo fair in Verona. Some of his products have been exhibited at the MoMA in New York. During the same years, he received the Du Pont award in Cologne, the Young Design award in Milan, and the Casaidea award in Rome. In 2012, he won the Interior Innovation Award in Cologne for the "Bookless" product by Interlübke. In 1999, he founded Studio28 Gino Carollo with the goal of creating a qualified team to support companies in the industry. Product design, combined with engineering and the creation of models and prototypes, proved to be key tools that enabled the studio to achieve concrete results over the years and to establish long-term collaborations. In recent years, Studio28’s industrial design activity has expanded with the addition of new areas of expertise, particularly in the field of architectural design for exhibition spaces, showrooms, and corporate identity.
