An organic design shaped in Balt®
The Citra side table reveals the full potential of Balt®: formed and bent in our Nantes workshop, its curved silhouette is a direct product of our manufacturing process. Height 45 cm, a compact format to dress a corner of a lounge, the side of a sofa or a hotel room. Available in five natural Balt® shades or three marbled versions.
Material and manufacturing
The material that makes up the Citra is made 100% of brewers' spent grain and recycled food packaging. Our entire manufacturing process is designed to minimise the carbon footprint of our products.
The range
A range inspired by brewing.
Each colour is named after a beer style. Every panel is slightly different: the nature of the spent grain leaves its own mark in the material.
Ref. BLT-BLO
Blond
Golden and refreshing (tinted with wheat straw).
Standard colours
Solid tones, inspired by the great brewing styles.
Marbled colours
Natural veining from a blend of two tones.
