Description
Overview
The Clay side tables are Moroso low tables by Zanellato/Bortotto. They come from the meeting of the studio's chromatic and material research with the ceramic experimentation of Botteganove, a workshop rooted in the tradition of Nove.
Construction
The top is an MDF panel veneered in the same wood species as the base, with a perimeter frame in solid finger-jointed oak or Canaletto walnut. Handcrafted, kiln-fired ceramic tiles are bonded to it and the joints are grouted with a decorative cement-based material. The base is MDF veneered in oak or Canaletto walnut with a transparent natural-effect varnish. A black bilaminated MDF back panel and black polypropylene feet complete it.

Story
Studio research meets Nove ceramics
The Clay side tables stem from the encounter between the chromatic and material research of Zanellato/Bortotto and Botteganove, a workshop rooted in the ceramic tradition of Nove. Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto founded the studio in Treviso in 2013.
Structure and surface
Glazed ceramic is the defining surface, and the tabletop becomes a narrative of fire, colour and craftsmanship. Each tile is handcrafted and kiln-fired and shows its own nuances and subtle variations. The formal rigour of the side table meets the tactile richness of ceramic.
