Wing by Parisotto+Formenton: the table becomes the heart of the kitchen workspace

The Wing family of tables, designed for True Design by Parisotto+Formenton is conceived as a hybrid collection for living between work and domestic spaces. Today it embraces a new environment, the kitchen. The design is highly recognizable with its trestle structure, lightweight surface and central groove for organizing accessories. This enables it to be enriched with new features: a strip lamp, condiment bowls or a shelving system. In the Wing Kitchen project, created in partnership with Frigo 2000, a front is equipped  for the preparation and cooking phases – with hobs, sink, oven and storage elements – while the rest is a clear surface for tasting, eating working and much else. Its lightness, among Wing’s original distinctive features, is not compromised by the addition of the lower container elements, which are suspended off the ground, leaving the perception of it as a worktable unchanged. The project, complete with the latest generation appliances, is designed to become the heart of the room in which it is placed, a catalyst for socializing and convivial activities. Here it is in the designers’ own words: “Wing Kitchen was created in 2019, before the pandemic generated by coronavirus broke out. We immediately judged it a useful and innovative product, but we never imagined that the living conditions in workspaces would change so drastically and so in line with what we were designing.”
