Octa
Architonic ID: 20746983
"Octa deriva del griego" okto ", que significa ocho: la cantidad de patas que componen la elaborada base de la mesa Octa, elementos metálicos que se entrecruzan de manera aparentemente desordenada. Una idea que nació jugando con los palillos utilizados en el juego del Mikado, un pasatiempo ancestral que sugiere una idea de caos y confusión, ligereza y aleatoriedad.
El tablero puede ser fijo o extensible, y está disponible en numerosos materiales y acabados. En las versiones rectangular fija y de barril, también hay acabados de chapa de madera y madera maciza para el tablero. En la versión redonda, el tablero es fijo y está hecho de cristal o cerámica. Su aparencia, en contraste con la base, es sobria y lineal. El resultado general es un equilibrio casi molecular, para una mesa bastante inusual y elegante, que caracteriza el espacio con un toque refinado y contemporáneo: el de un signo que se convierte en un objeto.

Belgium
Alain Gilles (1970–) is a renowned Belgian designer. Design was not his first calling: his university studies initially focused on Political Science, a discipline in which he graduated in Brussels. He then pursued a career in the financial sector for several years before deciding to change his life and move to France, where he earned a second degree at the Institut Supérieur de Design in Valenciennes—this time following his passion for Industrial Design. In 2007, after several years of collaboration with fellow Belgian designer Xavier Lust, he founded his own studio and began a series of successful partnerships with several major international design brands. The most significant and productive of these have been with the Belgian office furniture brand BuzziSpace and the Italian company Bonaldo, both of which quickly made him one of their leading designers. Winning the title of Designer of the Year in 2012 at the Interieur Kortrijk Fair opened the door to many new collaborations, including with brands such as Ligne Roset, Varaschin, Miniforms, XL Boom, Saba Italia, Vincent Sheppard, La Chance, and many others.
