Xito
OUT OF COLLECTION
A difficult object to be defined, something that only Campeggi’s catalogue could contain. Xito is not an armchair, a sofa, a bed or a carpet. Better to say, Xito is all of this contemporarily. A kind of “disarticulated surface” ready to host you with confidence during your moments of relax, meditation, reading, game or conversation. Xito is “another” place imagined by Giovanni Levanti (1999).
