De Padova

The newest design from DePadova comes from Belgian designer and architect, Vincent Van Duysen. Shadow (shown at left) reflects the designer's minimalist spirit in the formal lightness of the table. It is a perfect fit for DePadova which has a long history in both residential and contract design. Van Duysen explains that the table “plays between the visible and invisible through the subtle use of color and depth." The table is available in square and rectangular versions, and in multiple colors and finishes.

Also on display will be Monica Forster’s Circle Lamp, a large steel floor light that appears quite delicate, and Carlo Colombo’s Chat Sofa. The Chat sofa’s exposed steel structure is an interesting contrast to its plush seat, which spills over the sides to create padded arms.
