Story
A top with a gentle vibration
Molteni&C's page says the top has a gentle vibration that introduces a sense of movement. The datasheet adds that this slight vibration of the top is reminiscent of the typical Italian dessert from which the table takes its name.
Lava stone and recycled glass
According to the page, the table has vitreous inserts in Etna Lava Stone, produced from recycled glass, which bring unexpected depth and character. The page pairs the stainless-steel frame and perforated surface with a Lava Stone base, a subtle dialogue between texture and form.
