In 1985, Flexform decided to include the Moka
table and its namesake chair in its collection. The original design dates back
to 1939 and is now being introduced in an outdoor version. The
uncomplicated yet elegant structure of the Moka Outdoor table is made of
tubular austenitic stainless steel 316, also available with epoxy powder-coated
white, khaki green, wine red or burnished finish. The top is in transparent
tempered glass. It is strongly advised that the respective covers be used
to keep the Moka Outdoor tables in top condition and prolong their original
beauty as much as possible.

Asnago & Vender Designed for Flexform the Moka
chair, the Piano bed and nightstand (1985) Mario Asnago Claudio Vender
Both Mario and Claudio received
Architecture Certification at the Bologna Institute of Fine Arts in 1922. The
first joint projects were for competitions, among which the Como War Memorial.
In 1928, after obtaining the right to practice as architects, together they
opened the Studio Asnago-Vender Architetti. They were mostly involved in town
planning architecture (schools - residence - churches...). Among the objects
designed for interiors were tables and chairs with the characteristic X. The
slender structure represents the architectural philosophy of the two designers:
surfaces are wide but spaced out with empty spaces that point out the discreet
presence of the material, which does not take away lightness, but only part of
the stiff evenness that characterizes their interiors. After Asnago's
retirement in 1971, Vender continued the business with his son Mario and Mario
Moganti. |
