Design Benjamin Hubert,

To cut is a creative gesture. A cut divides, separates, and opens up a new vision of the world and its depths. Cracks, fissures, slashes if seen positively become windows, openings, passageways to go through, go beyond. The Net table has been designed around the concept of a crack. Depending on the observer’s perspective it can either block the gaze or let it through, seem light or solid, blend into its surroundings or stand out. Made from laser-cut carbon steel, the table is available in three different sizes and proportions.

Agostino Moroso, with his wife, Diana, founded the Moroso company in 1952 with an artisanal approach to making sofas, armchairs and furnishing accessories. Their iconic designs have propelled them within the upholstered furniture market, with help from a long list of well known designers: Ron Arad, Patricia Urquiola, Ross Lovegrove, Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo H?berli, Toshiyuki Kita, Marcel Wanders and others. Each piece maintains a noticeable Moroso style while representing other cultures as well. Its international outlook has landed Moroso into the MoMA in New York, Le Palais de Tokyo, the Grand Palais in Paris.
