Presented at Salone del Mobile in Milan until 26 April 2026, the new Aeris Collection for Citco is an engineered dialogue between design and structure—a convergence of intuition and calculation.

In these pieces, mass becomes movement. The collection challenges preconceptions of static, heavy materials—transforming them into something fluid and light.
The collection’s design language is not ornamental, but structural. Surfaces emerge from the deep logic of structural form-finding—from the invisible pathways through which forces travel, disperse, and resolve. Yet the result does not read as engineering alone, but as poetry.
The structure of the collection’s Arcus Table operates like those in bridge systems, conceived through principles of load distribution, balance and tension.
The table’s underside is hollowed into latticed geometries that ripple like currents with edges that taper into improbable thinness while it’s apertures open like horizons. The collection exists in the charged space between solidity and suspension, between earth and air.
Not objects in the conventional sense, the collection lies between architecture and product design, fragments of a larger idea in which the spaces we inhabit, and the furniture we use, can embody the same ambition as bridges, towers and cities.
Inviting us to imagine what lies beyond gravity and permanence—designs that whisper of weightlessness, even as they are born from stone, metal and glass. The Aeris collection is an ode to transformation: of matter, of perception, and of possibility itself.
