Story
One base under a solid top
Kartell calls TipTop a small side table, light and versatile. It is formed of a single base that carries the solid top, which the page gives as 48 cm in diameter.
A coloured top on a transparent leg
The page says the combination of the coloured top and the transparent, hollow leg gives depth to the structure. The data sheet allows the material to be transparent or batch-dyed PMMA, and its maintenance leaflet adds a version with a tempered glass top.
