ARC
FOSTER + PARTNERS
The table Arc embodies the innovative concepts which distinguish it. The base shape is inspired by the technostructures currently used in modern building: a new “light” cement which mixes colour and a special fi brous material obtaining resistant structures with a low specifi c weight. Printed in a single block and dyed. It allows the manufacture of complex shapes, the Arc table combines the structural characteristics of strength and elasticity with innovative concepts such as complete recyclability and low environmental impact of the production cycle.
