These two furniture accessories, created for La Cividina by Sicilian designer Antonino Sciortino, evoke the heritage and passion of the designer’s father. Turi Turi and Ploff offer a minimalist reinterpretation of the luxurious Sicilian Baroque style. The main element in the design is a 6 mm-thick circular piece of steel that is skilfully worked by hand. The circular steel shape contributes to a play of curved lines that follow one another in a rhythmic, sensual dance. The Turi Turi line consists of four small tables, with heights and sizes that vary depending on the number of circular steel elements used. Their appealing roundness and the simple steel top, also circular, bring to mind images of Sicilian men wearing traditional hats. The Turi Turi line is available in four colours.
