Its name is as simple and technical as the design itself.

Grcic has been inspired by classic BD pieces, such as the Hypóstila shelf unit (in production since 1979), in developing a tabletop of extruded aluminium with a minimal profile and for lengths of up to 360 cm.

Its apparent simplicity hides a complex technical development in which senior engineers have been involved.

In counterpoint, the production also includes several manual processes.
