Loto
Architonic ID: 1574809
Concept
Loto is a modular screen for the indoors conceived to divide spaces, yet spreading lightness and transparency. The steel structure can be varnished in gloss avorio colour or finished Deep Blue, a special dark blue oxidation. The elements composing the structure are decorated with a hand weave made of Rope cords or with Mithril, a flexible steel knit. The finishing of both the structure and the steel knit are made by De Castelli on an exclusivity basis. The screen modules can be joined by means of elements in white or black marble, matching the colour of the structure, which also serve as bases.
