Joystick
Mauro Lipparini
With a lighthearted name that evokes, from one perspective, a video game console and, from another, an aircraft pilot’s control column, the Joystick tables are works of both playful, even mischievous spirit and absolute precision. The impressive density of the metal plate is the compelling theme of Joystick, which delivers a powerful impression with its direct, emphatic design: two discs inalterably joined by a curved vertical plane. The eye-catching shapes are a realization of pure material in an archetypal minimalist conception. The sculptural object, concrete and rich in its profiling, finds in its polished, graceful thickness a cultivated style that resonates with the candor of its pure gray metal surfaces.
