Chiodo is a minimal table and stool created by Italy-based designer Marco Ripa. Ripa is a craftsman and designer, working specifically with iron and steel as his materials of choice. His most recent design was inspired by a simple nail; the table features a surface resembling that of a flathead screw without the drive. The table is accompanied with a matching set of stools, both of which are finished with powder coating. In addition, the base features storage that can be accessible by lifting up the surface.
Inside, the complex interplay of angles creates an energised feeling of space that belies the modest floorplan. This is enhanced by the full-height glazing on the north face, which draws in the deck and the wetland bush beyond.
