Maxwell Dining Table
STONE ELEGANCE
A simple shape enhances the exceptional personality of the special stone finishes that completely cover the internal steel frame, rendering it invisible. The grains in the marble, the varying shades of colors, and the mosaic of minerals, the result of the millenary process of the metamorphosis of the stone, are skillfully brought to light in all their beauty. The stone table top’s rounded corners and slightly tapered edge, in contrast with the distinctly linear and angled legs, imbue the table with an elegant lightness, and is emblematic of Massimo Castagna’s approach to materials and innovative designs.
Dining table. Made of stone and metal. Top: 2-cm thick stone with tapered edges, divided into sections and supported by a wooden panel. Uniquely shaped legs with a ‘’V’’ section made of an innovative and contrasting combination of materials: stone with a structural metal core.

MANUFACTURER
ACERBIS
One of the most enduring furniture companies in Italy, Acerbis stands as a connoisseur’s benchmark of Italian design — a pioneer with 150 years of expertise, whose continual search for modernity has produced creations of stunning innovation. First founded in 1870 by Benvenuto Acerbis in Bergamo’s Valle Seriana, Acerbis introduced cutting-edge industrial production and collaborations with some of Italy’s most trailblazing designers by the 1960s under Lodovico Acerbis, including Giotto Stoppino, Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Vico Magistretti, Nanda Vigo and Gianfranco Frattini.
Acerbis impart a fundamental luxury experience of design for users to match the conceptual aesthetic solutions of the furnishings. Over these years of experimentation and industrialization, Acerbis forged its DNA of Italian ingenuity for a future-gazing clientele ever since. Today this mission continues with fresh vigor. With industry leader MDF Italia investing in Acerbis for a newly cemented partnership, and recently appointed creative directors Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces helming a dynamic path forward, Acerbis affirms its family-led lineage of pace-setting vision, and its universe of designs that unite function and the avant-garde.
Looking to the past to face the challenges of the future, Acerbis takes on the great changes of our era, and the need to create a more sustainable society — a future that returns to a time when objects were made to last, when we needed only a few things but things that were beautiful and high-quality, when design meant a radical break from tradition and creating innovative products with the latest technology and material developments.
Acerbis will continue to offer beauty and functionality, like that found in all the iconic products of the company, which in its 150 years of experience has created products whose modernity survives the decades and remains avant-garde even today, and for the future. Continuing this mission means maintaining Acerbis as a place of research and experimentation, of new collaborations with both emerging and celebrated designers, and of breakthrough new products that will become future icons of design.
