Part sculpture, part side table and all beguiling, Lato combines a laser-cut steel tabletop with a powder-coat finish and a solid marble base shaped on a lathe and then honed to a semi-matte sheen. Amusingly, designer Luca Nichetto was originally inspired by the idea of a lollipop turned upside down. But growing up observing the artisans on his native island of Murano, he also had an idea how to interpret that playful notion into something more luxurious. LN9 is the smaller version in the series and has an oval tabletop, available in ivory metal with a Crema marble base or a warm black metal with an Emparador dark marble base.
