Carabottino Coffee Table by Cara Davide

Carabottino coffee table by Cara Davide Carabottino Collection Medulum Dimensions: Ø 150 x H 38 cm Materials: European walnut A wooden grating in a two-dimensional form traditionally made with wooden slats, it is considered an accessory element, of relative importance, somewhat like window and door frames, an architectural component that is not perceived as an object in itself – there are no carabottino objects or carabottinos that have become objects. Its graphic appearance, a consequence of its construction logic, makes it recognizable and punctuated by vertical and horizontal intersections; the interplay of full and empty spaces, of images that overlap and are filtered through their weave makes them vibrant, as if they were moving paintings.

Medulum An ancient river flowing in the green countryside of the Veneto hinterland, between emerged lands and swamps that have now disappeared. Medulum, one of the favourite waterways of the Venetian aristocracy of old, indispensable for reaching their country homes. This is where our work draws its inspiration. We combine the experience of 40 years with innovative solutions, collaborating with architect and designer studios in the search and experimentation of new languages, through the craftsmanship of artisanal productions. Medulum has been designing and making furniture and accessories by searching for and experimenting with new languages, collaborating with architects and designers, with the craftsmanship typical of artisanal productions.
