A familiar hardware-store fastener gets a new job in PREGO, a sculptural furniture collection by architect Ingrid Sani Lang for Rótulo em Branco. The range reimagines the shape of a nail as side, coffee and bar tables, bringing an industrial silhouette into the home.
The tables feature removable, interchangeable heads that change how each piece can be used. Choose a smooth surface for everyday essentials or a version with recessed details for smaller objects and incense. The interchangeable design adds flexibility without changing the table’s overall footprint.
Made in southern Brazil from AISI 304 stainless steel, the collection comes in brushed and polished finishes. Its clean lines keep the nail-inspired form front and centre, balancing the look of an oversized fastener with the practical role of a table.
