SUPERQUADRA COFFEE TABLE

Designed by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, the Superquadra furniture line takes its name from the pilot town planning design by Lúcio Costa with Oscar Niemeyer, conceived in 1956 for a residential neighborhood of Brasilia and presented as a series of basic prefab houses.

The square volumes of the famous buildings suspended on agile pilotis are revamped to characterize sideboards, benches, coffee tables, console tables, and tables of the Superquadra family. The architectural imprint that characterizes the airy volumes of the Superquadra storage units translates into the graphic minimalism of the Superquadra line of coffee tables, benches, and console tables.

The elements rest on a base with protruding legs in aluminum with a polished Brandy varnished finish, giving the products an ultra-lightweight look. The discreet design is animated by a mix of fine quality materials—marble, wood, fabric, and leather—used for the shelves and seats, interpreted in a modern, textured style. With Superquadra, Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27 reaffirms the identity of a style with roots in the 1950s, sporting a mix of characteristics balanced between the past and the present.

The benches, characterized by different densities of cushioning, are available in two heights (cm 34 and cm 42) and come in four versions: with all-fabric or leather covering (cm 126x128), with a seat paired with a top in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos (cm 126x128), with a seat set beside a top in Calacatta or Sahara Noir marble (cm 182x58), or with two tops in solid wood and Calacatta marble or wood and Sahara Noir marble (cm 182x102).

The coffee tables can be square or rectangular and are available in two heights. In addition to versions featuring tops in Calacatta marble or Sahara Noir marble with a matt polyester varnished finish, both made with the folding technique, they are also available with a top composed of a single piece of Dark Brown stained palisander Santos with a matt polyester lacquered finish or a Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut wood staved top.

The furnishing accessories are characterized by their bold textures, clearly visible in the versions that feature a distinctive top in a combination of marble and solid wood. Conceived to be set alongside sofas and seats, in an elegant interplay of overlaps that also engages the console table, the Superquadra coffee tables embody the intense compositional versatility of the line
