Tee Console
Paolo Cattelan, 2022
In creating this design console, Paolo Cattelan defines the shape starting from the material, a steel sheet, and not vice versa. The Tee console is an example of conceptual and structural minimalism. Two metal sheets are the only elements of this modern hallway console. The thinness is achieved thanks to precision manufacturing techniques, while the corners are clearly rounded with care. Both the base and top are finished with the sophisticated Brushed finish, consisting of a special freehand brushing technique. Light scratches, imperceptible to the touch, create a warp and weft metallic decoration. By combining several metal consoles of different sizes, a multi-level composition can be created that exhibits the same conceptual cleanliness as the single model, but with greater dynamism.
