Malvasia is an outdoor seat that projects graceful and straight patterns of lights and shadows through its metal weaves, and that lends itself to animate any outdoor space, even terraces and garden

The Atomo project stems from the need to create a table capable of fitting into any environment and becoming its focal point.

The Brezza armchair is his innovative take on outdoor comfort, where the frame and cushions engage in surprising dialogue: the upholstered parts are easy to fit into the frame and secure.

The Mentha chair is a cool, comfortable and cosy seat, just like its name suggests.

The result of playful experimentation, the Hyppo coffee-table family is designed for outdoor use but adapts with versatility to indoor spaces.

Hug is a flexible system in which the components combine to create different chair and armchair configurations.

The Mimosa family of accessories is designed to showcase vegetation within our living spaces.

DRESS_CODE is inspired by the canons of haute - couture, playing with the combinations of colours, between structure and seat, with the textures of indoor and outdoor fabrics and with their process

Tripe’ is the right synthesis of functionality, minimalism, and recognisability. A system of tables of various shapes and sizes, ideal for the home and public areas.

Almost a dream in daylight, a return to carefree childhood, when a swing was enough to fly and to reach the clouds with just one more push.

Si-Si interprets the fragile balance between indoor and outdoor. A single body fixed to the slender frame can act as a backrest or as a seat.

The curves define the metal structure of Trick, a barstool with a minimalist yet expressive and joyful design, with a comfortable and welcoming seat.

Squid hexagonal table – design RadiceOrlandini

Squid is the new S•CAB table who plays with the material experimentation of the top and the design of the details. The name points to a ‘cuttlefish bone’, which gives shape to the section of the leg.

Designed by RadiceOrlandini DesignStudio, Squid comes from the need to create a versatile table according to the top, adaptable to different environments, and therefore available in various shapes and sizes; a table that can feature tops made of HPL but also of marble and other precious materials, fixed but also extendable. The result is a customizable product, easy to assemble and handle. The fulcrum of the project is the die-cast aluminium leg, which, combined with metal frames of different shapes and sizes, gives life to a large and diversified collection of tables.

The designers say, “Squid is the new table designed for S•CAB. Referring to it simply as a table wouldn’t do it justice. Our approach to the project was, in fact, not only aesthetic, but rather we first thought about the production and composition, before the form.” So, the need arose to create a table that could adapt to different situations through the top. The architects continue, “S•CAB is a pragmatic and dynamic company, whose business ranges across different living spaces, from indoors to outdoors, from home to the office, from public spaces to catering. The new table, therefore, had to have features that would allow it to adapt to all these different environments, was available in various shapes and sizes, and could accommodate tops not only in HPL but also in marble, plus one that could be both fixed and extendible. Hence, we came up with Squid as a complex system that involves the use of different materials and production technology.”

“The result is a highly flexible and customisable product, but also simple to assemble and care for. The signature feature of this project is the leg in die-cast aluminium that, along with the metal frames in different shapes and sizes, results in a comprehensive and varied collection of tables. From an aesthetic point of view, we wanted to revolutionise the traditional interpretation of the “flat” leg in favour of a more original “cuttlebone” shape, which resulted in the name of the project. This makes the leg as light in its shape, as it is solid in its material. The slight change in the lengthwise surface that can be seen on the front has two purposes: to add a “ridge” to the leg to make it sturdier and create an interesting contrast of light and shadows. The metal tubular frame completes the structural part of the project and is sized, so that it can also include extra-large tables with heavy tops in marble without compromising its stability.”
