Asterias Table

Designer Patricia Urquiola

Named after the Asterias cactus that thrives in Mexico’s mountainous regions, Patricia Urquiola’s latest creation for Molteni&C brings nature-inspired elegance into your home. The Asterias table, a generously-sized round piece, commands attention with its unique central base, reminiscent of the cactus it’s named after. This stunning base consists of six curved, wedge-shaped wooden panels, seamlessly protruding over a central plinth, each panel 3D printed to perfection.

The table’s top, available in 160 or 180 cm diameters, features a rounded edge divided into four wooden wedges, creating an intriguing geometric pattern that is as visually striking as it is sophisticated. Adding a touch of functional charm, the Asterias table can be fitted with a central Lazy Susan turntable, a practical accessory especially popular in Asian dining culture.

Urquiola’s Asterias table isn’t just a piece of furniture; it’s a statement of design innovation and natural beauty, seamlessly blending form and function. Perfect for contemporary settings, this table invites convivial gatherings and stylish dining, making it a standout addition to any interior.
