Sculptural Italian Marble Dining Table

The Loto dining table, designed by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova in the 1960s, embodies the designer’s early exploration of bold materials and architectural form. A circular marble top with striking veining rests on a lacquered black metal pedestal base, giving the piece both elegance and monumentality.

Yet works such as the Loto table for Poltronova highlight his earlier mastery of form and material. Produced by one of Italy’s most forward-thinking manufacturers, this piece stands as a landmark in mid-century modern Italian design.
