Comodo Storage Table, 1988

Comodo storage table by Achille Castiglioni and Giancarlo Pozzi for Karakter.

Comodo is a versatile piece of furniture that typifies Castiglioni’s uniquely questioning design approach.

A metal stem with an expressive tripod base supports a wooden box with a hinged tray shaped lid. Reminiscent of traditional wooden sewing boxes, this hinged lid raises to reveal a compartment which can be used to store all manner of small items. Castiglioni is reputed to have used his own Commodo to store a selection of sweets. 

Karakter’s reissue of this notable design, authorised by La Fondazione Achille Castiglioni, ensures its appreciation by a new generation of design enthusiasts.

This elegant and multi-purpose unit can be used as a bedside table, a standing tray, a side table or simply as a storage box.
