Flat Bar table 180
“It inspires me to be able to design what becomes valued and used. The search for essentiality is an attitude, a way of being and understanding design. I feel comfortable with discreet shapes, thoughtful objects, well constructed and made with the essential parts to make them work.”
Mario Ruiz

It is a structured designer bar table made with solid plates and solid and hollow aluminium profiles welded by manual processes, later powder-coated in the seven colours from the GANDIABLASCO catalog: bronze, anthracite, cement grey, agate grey, white, bluish-grey, and sand.
