Description

Overview

Panna Cotta is Ron Gilad's 2012 low table for Molteni&C, made in round and oval silhouettes. Its name refers to the Italian dessert and to the subtle movement of the top when touched.

Construction

A welded drawn-steel structure and painted sheet-steel top surround a marble counterweight. Molteni&C describes the result as a paradox of visual delicacy and physical stability.

Story

Named for movement

Panna Cotta takes its name from the soft Italian dessert. Molteni&C connects that reference to the slight wave felt at the tabletop, turning a restrained functional object into a tactile idea.

Delicate above, grounded below

Ron Gilad's design sets a thin painted top and slender frame over a marble counterweight. The apparent lightness is therefore supported by real mass, creating the fragile-stability paradox described in the official datasheet.
