Baleri Italia

Founded in 1984 by Enrico Baleri and Marilisa Decimo, Baleri Italia has always pursued a design philosophy aimed at creating distinctive and functional design, maintaining a constant commitment to expressive research combined with careful technical product development. This approach has allowed the company to be a pioneer in technological experimentation and material innovation, as well as in the recognition and support of emerging design talent, starting with Philippe Starck, whose collaboration marked the beginning of a path full of success and innovation. Over time, Starck has been joined by masters such as Hannes Wettstein, Angelo Mangiarotti and Alessandro Mendini, creators of products that have become authentic icons such as the Francesca Spanish chair and the President M table by Starck, the Juliette and Caprichair chairs and the Bill sofa by Wettstein, the T table by Mangiarotti

The form of the Bentz table base derives from a simple profile swept along a down and up trajectory. In doing so, it creates an airy and sculptural central focus with the functional characteristics of a column base. The resulting surface and volume seeks hierarchy and interplay between the actual legs of the people seated across from one another. The applied reflection and colour draw in and on the environment to further establish an object with placement, rather than the placement of an object.
