&TRADITION Lato Side Table - Wooden Tops

Simple is the key component for sophistication seen in Lato - a sculptural side table by Luca Nichetto. Avoiding the assumption that a table needs four legs, Nichetto treats us to a slim, oval or spherical table top balanced by a beautiful oval marble base.

Named after the Italian word for side, Lato is understated yet striking in its own right. Inspired by the notion of a lollypop turned upside down, Nichetto refined the shape to be more streamlined and iconic. Enhanced a monochromatic material mix in two colour variants. "With the ivory white version, you can elegantly blend Lato into your décor," explains Nichetto. "Whereas the warm black version helps accentuate any interior. Both marble bases have semi-matt finish that signals my favourite kind of sophistication: subtle."

Lato is available in two sizes, shapes and colours, all with an oval marble base. The LN9 is the smaller version measuring 45 cm in height with an oval table top. The LN8 is the taller version measuring 50 cm high boasting a round table top. Both versions come in powder-coated steel, either in ivory white with a light marble base or a warm black metal with a dark marble base.
