CARLO
Designed by Tono Morganti for Casa Juker in 1989, the Carlo table was redesigned with the creative input of Renato J. Morganti. Simple lines emphasize the round charcoal-colored ash wood table top on which a marble lazy Susan tray revolves. The sturdy X-shaped base gives the design a sleek, well-proportioned look. Carlo is the perfect balance of modernity and tradition.
