This exquisite version, executed entirely in white marble, represents a luxurious and sophisticated evolution of one of Sottsass's most poetic forms. The 'Loto' table is a masterclass in the balance of opposites: the monumental solidity of the stone contrasts beautifully with the fluid, sinuous lines of its "lotus-like" silhouette. By choosing white marble, Sottsass elevates the playful, almost totemic geometry of the design into the realm of timeless elegance. This piece captures a pivotal moment in design history—the transition from the Radical period to the birth of the Memphis movement—showcasing Sottsass's unique ability to merge architectural weight with a sense of lightness and spiritual grace.
