Torsion is an imposing round table which,
just like a sculpture, as Pasquale Natuzzi had
envisaged, deserves to be placed in the centre
of the room


A distinctive, unique design that stands
out for its modern monumentality and, at the same
time, for its evocative and symbolic potency,
expressing all the strength, beauty, energy and
inexhaustible dynamism of the ancient olive trees
of Puglia. Trees with indomitable trunks, twisted
to withstand the winter winds.


The top, two metres in diameter, is made of
extra-clear tempered glass with a polished edge.
The structure that supports the glass top evokes
the unfolding of an olive tree, consisting of six
stylised "branches". Each branch is composed of
about 10 strips of solid olive wood, pantographed
with precision CNC machines, then glued and
polished by hand with an oil finish.


«The Torsion table, made of olive wood, is the fruit of my inexhaustible and endless passion for that fascinating home architecture which, fatally, has always been the centre of the domestic space»

Mario Bellini

Torsion is the fruit of a coming together.
A strong and perennial bond between two visionary minds, that of Pasquale Natuzzi and that of Mario Bellini.
