Alias SATURNO Round Valchromat® table

Saturno is a round table with base made of four elements in MDF Valchromat® (mass-coloured and transparent lacquered) attached to a cylindrical structural steel element, glossy black lacquered.‎ The table top consists of two elements: a central round top (always in extra-clear transparent glass) and an outer crown available in: MDF Valchormat® matching the base, 16 mm th.‎ (the crown is made by joining 4 sections) acid-etched glass 12 mm th.‎ (only for cm Ø140-160) Carrara marble 15 mm th.‎ (only for cm Ø140-160) The table is available in the exclusive MB edition: light gray base with black profiles, Ø160 acid-etched glass top.‎ With the Saturno collection, Alias renews its collaboration with the architect from Ticino, which began in the 1980s.‎  The table and coffee table system are characterised by an architectural design in an artful interplay of solids and voids that gives the product lightness and visual dynamism.‎ The solid central base characterises the entire collection: four mass-coloured MDF elements (available in black, light grey or brown “cioccolato”), are anchored to a shiny black powder-coated steel cylinder.‎ The result is a sculptural structure, characteristic of Botta's architectural language, on which the table tops rest, available in various sizes and finishes.‎ In the 72 cm height version the tabletop is available in three sizes (ø 140 cm, ø 160 cm, and ø 180 cm) and consists of a circular ring element offered in Carrara marble, acid-etched glass, or MDF in the same colour as the base.‎ The tabletop, hollowed out in the centre, comes with a round transparent extra-clear glass insert, designed for those who wish to extend the usable surface.‎ Like a skylight in architecture, this design allows light to pass through, illuminating the sculptural base and creating a refined interplay of transparencies.‎ In the Saturno 48 coffee table, the single leg is proportionally smaller than the dining table and supports a top available in glass (acid-etched, smoked or extra-clear) or natural stone (Carrara marble, Val Camonica porphyry or Roman travertine).‎ The Saturno collection is enriched with two exclusive versions expressing the perfect stylistic vision of the architect from Ticino.‎ Saturno table MB Edition features a light grey MDF base with black edges, which supports an elegant acid-etched glass top with a diameter of 160 cm, completed by a refined central extra-clear glass insert.‎ Saturno 48 low table MB Edition features an all-black MDF base that supports an acid-etched glass top with a central hole, a detail that recalls the original design of the project.‎ The geometric purity of shapes and the rigorous compositional balance emphasise the continuity between design and architecture, the hallmark of the design language of Mario Botta.‎
