Simplicity defines LATO, a sculptural side table designed by Luca Nichetto. Rejecting the typical "table with four legs" concept, Nichetto impresses with a piece whose balanced proportions, graceful, circular tabletop perfectly match the clean, oval marble base.
LATO – Italian for "side," is subtle yet remarkably impactful. LATO's design inspiration stems from an inverted lollipop shape, which Nichetto refines to a rational, yet iconic form. The carefully selected monochromatic materials and soft colour palette cultivate two variants of the table. “The ivory white version blends effortlessly into any interior,” explains Nichetto. “The warm black version, however, stands out in any space.” The semi-matte finish on both the light and dark marble embodies understated elegance, my favourite way.
LATO is available in two sizes, shapes, and colours, with a marble base. LN9 is the smaller version, standing at 45cm, with an oval tabletop. LN8 is a taller option at 50cm, featuring a round tabletop. Both tables comprise powder-coated steel and polished marble. Available in light or dark options: ivory white steel or lacquered oak with a light marble base, and warm black metal or lacquered walnut with a dark marble base.
