Aperitivo

About the design

Aperitivo, it is an Italian thing. No other nation could make that after work, pre-meal drink and snack an event; and that is what it is, an event. A way to take stock of the day, to decompress, to relax and yet to converse. To share ideas, to enjoy the company of others or those of your thoughts. It is inherently Italian because it is what we do well, making moments, igniting conversations, discussing what’s on the menu afterwards - socially and culinarily. So how do we translate this into design? How do we symbolise through design our culture? Materials and forms which personify elegance. Mauro Lipparini goes even further. Marble tops, built-in ice buckets, swooping lines and form, function and practicality meeting high-end design.

Materials & specification

• Top: Arabesque Grey, Slate grey, Tangerine onyx, Niveo white, Silver rift touch marble or Tainted Caesar touch travertine.
• Structure and metal parts: base in metal micaceous brown varnished, central container in aluminium micaceous brown varnished, ring of the top edge in black nickel.
• Attention: Marble is characterized by porosity and cracking that, during the manufacturing process are filled with special resins or inserts in the same material. After the polishing the surface may present irregularities and natural micro holes, which, however, do not compromise the solidity of the product. For the correct maintenance of all marble surfaces, it is recommended to use neutral detergents and no degreasers nor corrosive detergents. Acid substances may spoil the polished marble surface. It is also recommended to avoid contact with liquids and acid food and to remove immediately these substances if they accidentally come in contact with the surface.
