Cattelan Italia Rado Keramik Round Dining Table
Design: Paolo Cattelan
Year: 2024
The Rado family of tables comes in numerous versions to meet the most varied aesthetic needs and optimally furnish a modern dining room. The central base has been produced using a cutting-edge ceramic modelling technique, which marks the boundary between before and after on the spectrum of possible outcomes offered by this ever more flexible material. This is the first appearance, in fact, of curved slabs in the Keramik collection, sculpted to create bases for round ceramic tables with gracefully curved shapes and rounded edges.
Tables with central base Rado are joined by two perfectly symmetrical hubs. One detail is noticeable on the short side of the plinth: the recessed vertical groove covered in ceramic, which breaks up the otherwise uniform surface. The result is a modern ceramic table that embodies a new contemporary aesthetic, combining classic finishes inspired by natural marble with previously unseen production techniques. This model can be finished all over, i.e. with base and top in ceramic: in the Rado Keramik Round or Rado Keramik Premium Round versions. The latter features a broad, hand-brushed decorative edging. Alternatively, you can opt for the wooden round table models with a ceramic base and top made of fine wood: the Rado Wood Round and Rado Ker-Wood Round models, the latter featuring a ceramic insert. The charming and functional ceramic console, Rado Keramik, completes the family.
The ceramic slabs are produced using a wet grinding process on natural products, such as quarry clays, granite rocks and ceramic pigments, followed by subsequent compaction and firing. Ceramic care tips: if you have doubts about how to clean your porcelain stoneware, simply use a sponge soaked in normal liquid detergent or an anti-limescale gel product. Avoid very abrasive products and steam cleaners. Clean immediately while the stain is still fresh.
