Low Yellow Tabuli Table by Vincenzo Castellana for DESINE, 2018

This table behaves like a beehive’s cell because unity is strength and bees know that as much as designers and architects do. This low table is self-supported, but it also has the possibility of a larger configuration if several elements are added. The strength of Tabuli is that of the modular system, where the basic geometry becomes a game of combinations, also thanks to the different possibilities of color.
Each table has three legs, positioned in the middle of the side, so when the tables meet the legs of one seem to complete the support of the other and everything takes its rightful place. Tabuli also has the shape of the city where it was born: Grammichele is one of the two hexagonal urban schemes present in Italy, a rare and magical place also for this reason.
