The glass is tinted a cool, smoke grey, dark enough to read as architecture yet never quite opaque. Light passes through it and softens, so the piece holds a shadowed depth rather than a solid mass, its tone shifting quietly through the day. It is the cooler, more restrained sibling to the bronzed glass. Within the collection the glass is the lightest register Lebanto works in, a counterweight to the stone. It is worked to the same tolerances as the stone tops, so the edges read as line rather than thickness and the piece keeps its clarity from every angle.

The construction hides nothing. Two glass panels meet at a right angle and lock together into a cross-leg base, the join reading straight through the translucent material, the whole standing without a frame or a single visible fixing.

Low in its demands and clear in its intent, the smoked glass dining table sits at the centre of a dining space without asking for attention. The Iki is an Italian dining table made to order in Cantù, in Lombardy's long-established furniture district, drawn from full-slab stone, solid timber, and premium Italian glass. See less
