Description
This Carlotta model table set was designed by Antonio Citterio for the Italian manufactory Flexform in 1997. The lightweight structure is created from flat, chrome-plated metal. The top is made of wood, which has been varnished with a scratch-resistant white matt lacquer. The tables are part of the versatile Carlotta product family that includes a small armchair, pouffe, chair, tables and bookcase. The collection draws on a design matrix close to rationalism with a hint of Bauhaus school influence.
Antonio Citterio was born in 1950 in Meda. He is an Italian architect and furniture designer. In 1972, he obtained a degree in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano, and then began working as a designer and consultant for industrial design.

In 2000, together with Patricia Viel, he founded Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel – an interdisciplinary practice of architecture and interior design. The company operates internationally, developing complex projects on all scales in cooperation with a network of specialized consultants.
