Ettore Sottsass “Loto” Carrara Marble Dining Table, Poltronova 1960s

Italian Mid-Century Marble Dining Table

This Loto dining table by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova embodies the sculptural refinement of Italian mid-century modern design. Crafted in the 1960s, the table features a striking white Carrara marble top balanced on a black lacquered cylindrical base with a marble plinth. Its bold geometry and materiality capture the innovation and elegance of Sottsass’s early work.

Architectural elegance in stone and metal

The round Carrara marble top exudes timeless sophistication, while the contrasting black lacquered steel supportanchors the design with strength and clarity. Both functional and collectible, the Loto table bridges the world of fine craftsmanship with modernist experimentation, making it a centerpiece for dining rooms, galleries, or refined interiors.

Ettore Sottsass and Italian design heritage

Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007), one of the most influential figures in 20th-century design, was renowned for his radical approach that spanned architecture, furniture, and industrial design. Long before founding the Memphis Group in the 1980s, Sottsass created seminal pieces with Poltronova, exploring bold geometries and material juxtapositions. The Loto table is a testament to his mastery of form, material, and cultural innovation in the postwar Italian design landscape.
