HAIKU
/ 2014
Haiku è il termine giapponese che descrive un componimento poetico costituito di soli tre versi per un totale di diciassette sillabe.
Il nuovo coffee table firmato Marco Zito per Saba Italia si compone appunto di tre elementi: la struttura e i due piani.
L'esile architettura sospende i piani su due livelli che giocano sulla parziale sovrapposizione e su accostamenti di colore dalle nuances pastello, in un semplice e misurato rapporto di equilibrio e proporzioni.
Haiku è stato pensato in una palette raffinata che gioca su lievi sfumature.
MADINA
/ 2014
Contenere, esporre ma anche sedersi: Madina riassume nel poco diversi possibili utilizzi.
Comodino o piccola madia da ingresso-soggiorno, è un elemento multiuso caratterizzato dal disegno morbido dell'anta, che copre il profilo del mobile con effetto di sospensione da terra. Realizzata in frassino con finitura ciliegio, Madina si racconta nelle diverse laccature pastello nelle nuove nuances di tendenza. Le due misure del mobile permettono di realizzare un piccolo sistema scegliendo tra la versione a giorno, dotata di contenitori e scomparti, e la versione con anta chiusa. Madina è pensata come elemento singolo o in appoggio su panchetta.
