With its pure, monolithic presence, which rejects all forms of mannerism, the Parallel Structure table – as the name suggests – offers an architectural approach to design, in which the pursuit of extreme simplicity is accompanied by cutting-edge technical solutions. The project’s starting point is the strong textural presence of two imposing aluminium bars joined simply by two side supports. The legs are solid wood, while the side bridges – architraves connecting the coloured aluminium bars – hide a metal core which provides solidity and greater visual lightness to the frame. The collection includes two sizes and tops in various materials: canaletto walnut and oak in different finishes for a minimalist style choice, or extra light glass, whose transparency enhances the beauty of the engineering process.

Classic yet contemporary, essential yet extremely flexible, the Jack wall system is offered in two versions: with vertical floor to ceiling uprights, or with rods to be fixed to the wall. The modularity and discrete technical solutions underlying the project make it possible to create compositions for every room and furnishing context. The system features numerous elements which can be combined to increase the system’s functionality. These include new, deeper shelves, storage elements such as drawers, and flap doors. From an aesthetic point of view, all the elements of the Jack wall system are available in two colours, to which Canaletto walnut and four oak finishes are added as an option for the shelves and storage units.
