Desalto | Strong

One curved steel tube generates the entire Strong collection. The designer Eugeni Quitllet compares this line created for Desalto to an alphabet with which to write new stories

Clean design for a project that sets out to defy gravity, with solutions that surprise us with the use of a continuous line that is shaped to create all the pieces. The name Strong refers to the hardness of the curved steel tube, as opposed to the lightness of its inner void. With different diameters depending on necessities, Eugeni Quitllet creates many pieces for the collection presented by Desalto: dining table, chair, small table and stool, with the latter pair also ready for outdoor use.
One interesting aspect of the collection is complete freedom in the choice of finishes, from steel sheet for outdoor settings to marble, wood to stone, all the way to aluminium.
