Winner of the prestigious Compasso d'Oro, the model perfectly embodies the innovative spirit that made Kartell a pioneer in the use of industrial plastics for contemporary furniture.

Manufactured in glossy black ABS plastic, the three tables nest seamlessly beneath one another to form a compact sculptural composition while remaining fully functional as individual side tables, occasional tables or display stands. Their softly rounded profiles and distinctive raised rims create a bold architectural presence despite their compact dimensions.

Two of the tables retain the original moulded Kartell – Made in U.K. – Designer Giotto Stoppino manufacturer's mark, documenting Kartell's licensed British production during the period, while the third table is unmarked, a configuration occasionally encountered on early examples.

Both highly practical and visually striking, these tables remain one of the defining icons of Italian Space Age furniture and an enduring example of Giotto Stoppino's timeless design language.

Excellent vintage condition. Glossy surfaces remain well preserved with light scattered scratches and minor age-related signs of use consistent with careful ownership. This piece has an attribution mark,
