The simplicity of its lines and perfectly balanced proportions make Iseo the archetypal table. The elegant base is an exercise in formal purity and subtractive design – the four tapered metal legs with beveled edges are set flush with the four outer corners of the table and support the top made of a thin slab of marble or wood. Iseo’s magnetic personality derives from the sophisticated textural juxtaposition between the metal structure, available in satin, chrome, burnished, black chrome or champagne finish, and the top, which can be crafted in wood – Canaletto walnut or ash, stained in an array of shades – or in luxurious marble.

About Designer
Carlo Colombo	Carlo Colombo was born in 1967 at Carimate. In 1993 he graduated in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic, but by 1991 he had already made contact with Giulio Cappellini, for whom he designed his first piece in 1992: the Kyoto bed, presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan the same year. From this time on Colombo’s work as a designer flowed into hundreds of projects in collaboration with the leading firms in the sector. In 2004 Colombo was named Designer of the Year in Tokyo. Between 2005 and 2011 he received the International Design Award four times from Elle Décor and he has won prizes for his projects from Gioia Casa and MD Magazine. In 2009 he was one of the winners of the Good Design Award presented by the European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum. A sort of ambassador of Italian design to the world, he gives lectures and conferences in Israel, Greece, Portugal,Slovenia, Ukraine, Australia, Russia, Britain, Brazil and China. Apart from product and furniture design, Colombo undertakes business and marketing promotion for companies, works on graphic design, curates exhibitions, works as consultant and art director (since 2006 and for Arflex and since 2008 for Stratex). Entrepreneurs were among the first clients for the houses he designed, but they soon commissioned showrooms, sales outlets and production facilities, like the Poliform Lab opened in 2011 in the heart of Brianza.
