Every detail — invisible to the eye yet essential to the structure — reflects Desalto’s ability to transform technical precision into measured beauty, where balance and solidity coexist with a sense of absolute lightness.In the version extending up to three meters, scale transforms the narrative: two intersecting legs create a striking interplay of forces and voids. The intersection is not merely a structural solution to support the large top, but a formal element that multiplies visual axes and establishes dynamic perspectives. The double-leg configuration generates an architectural rhythm — lines crossing and projecting into space — emphasizing monumentality without sacrificing elegance. The expansive top becomes a stage, while the legs act as sculptural counterpoints, making the tension between mass and suspension perceptible even at a generous scale.
The Element project combines a strong formal concept with targeted engineering solutions. The support is conceived as an axial structural body with an optimized section designed to transfer vertical loads and bending moments to the base; in the single-leg models, the inclined position of the parallelepiped has been engineered to counteract the torsional moments generated by the top and to keep lateral displacement within design tolerances. The two intersecting legs solution redistributes loads and reduces bending moments on the top, allowing for reduced thickness while preserving formal clarity. Load transfer occurs through optimized structural paths: localized reinforcements in areas subject to higher stress, welds executed according to qualified procedures, dimensional controls during production, and final load testing with safety factors compliant with industry standards. Element is the result of a deliberate balance between form and calculation — a sculptural idea translated into an engineered project that maintains perceptual lightness, aesthetic rigor, and functional reliability.
