The perfection of the circle. The name Talos is derived from a plant native to Polynesia distinguished by the marked contrast between the size of its leaves and very thin stem. Drawing on this ambivalence, the coffee table designed by Keiji Takeuchi is an object modelled on the circularity of the base and top in marble, in two different diameters, joined by a thin line connecting them, almost inextricably. While aesthetics are essential at first glance, the carefully crafted top reveals the meticulous attention to detail. Talos moves transversally between the bedroom, living room and relaxation area, tracing out an essential design with three different heights and marble finishes Carrara, Calacatta Oro, Valentine Grey, Grey Stone, Emperador Dark, Grigio Carnico, in addition to the new proposals Verde Alpi and Rosso Lepanto.
