Il Colonnato,
by Mario Bellini
In this project, Mario Bellini took his inspiration from a basic
elemental structure in architecture. His design emulated the
colonnade of classical architecture, in which a sequence of
columns supports a portico, in this case a table top.
The base is a visually closed volume, despite being materially
open. When seen from a different viewpoint, perception
changes completely, as the columns no longer overlap and
the space appears empty.
