Coffee table
Description
Wedge explores the concept of a table with a strong graphic expressive style, offering both a dining room and coffee table version.
The oblique chisel tip shape sported by the bulky volume of its semi-circular legs significantly lightens the impression of the coffee table, creating the idea of a support on tiptoe.
An unexpected visual effect that reveals the stylistic tone of the designer, a design concept bent on the desire to innovate and amaze. The same style can be found in the design of the top, available in both glass and wood, through the surface of which the semi-circles of the three supports are visible. Wedge features a large top - in round, square and rectangular versions - in bronzed glass or Moka-coloured Louro Faia wood, with a unique hammered effect texture. It is supported by legs with a polished steel or satin metal finish in Malt colour, appearing to perforate the surface while remaining level to it.

Minotti and Oki Sato, Japanese designer born in 1977, first came into contact in 2017.
Multi-talented, poetic and original, in 2002, Oki Sato opened the architecture and design firm Nendo, of which he is Chief Designer. Internationally renowned for his multi-faceted approach, which spans from graphic design to product design, and from architecture to the creation of installations, Oki Sato officially joined the Minotti team of designers in 2018.
With his light, fresh and minimal style, he creates designs with a big personality and a poetic touch. He is mainly inspired by the manual work of master craftsmen and artisans, and by the interaction between people, objects and environment.
The creative synergy between Minotti and Oki Sato was expressed in 2018 with the launch of the Tape collection - a family of seats and tables characterized by a light silhouette and a strong identity - and the Ring and Waves coffee tables.
In 2019, the partnership continued, with Tape Cord Outdoor, the outdoor evolution of the award-winning and world-renowned Tape family, the Easel cabinets series and the Wedge table and coffee table.
In 2020, Oki Sato designed the Torii family of seats and furnishing accessories, available for both residential and Hospitality settings: a very detailed project that plays around with the roundness of the volumes, the thinness of the profiles and the apparent formal simplicity, at the same time highlighting the haute couture approach in Minotti’s distinctive sartorial craftsmanship.
