Mangia Fuoco Low Table by Moroso

Mangiafuoco, or Fire-eater, a project by design duo Zanellato/ Bortotto for Moroso, an ordinary copper object coated with vitreous powders takes on an unexpected splendour and startling colours when fired at high temperatures, leaving the metal intact.

In the two round coffee tables, the broad enamelled surface is traversed by a variety of unpredictable shades resulting from the combining and overlapping of vitreous powders and strict observance of the necessary kiln time.

The result is a series of unique pieces - imperfect and therefore seductively exciting and attractive.
