OTHELLO Rectangular marble living room table

The Othello series of tables was born from an encounter between pure and natural materials.‎ The charm of the expertly processed wood, combined with stone or glass, makes all decorative work superfluous.‎ Roberto Lazzeroni revisits the constructive rigour of 1950s and 1960s Italian design.‎ The solid ash supports, with a moka or wenge stain, have the impact of a geometric sculpture.‎ By contrast, the tops are soft and curved in both the round and rectangular versions.‎ The clean-edged triangular section is a distinctive feature of the wooden structure and is beautifully echoed in the diamond workmanship along the edges of the tops.‎
Poltrona Frau chooses two material variants for the tops.‎ The light, semi-transparent smoked crystal emphasises the architectural solidity of the supports.‎ The fine Fior di Pesco marble catches the eye with its delicate and rich veins that in the daylight reveal areas that are translucent and almost transparent.‎ Calacatta Oro marble is an equally fine alternative.‎
Othello crystal tables come with exposed brushed stainless steel spacers.‎ In the marble version, with glossy or semi-glossy finish, the underneath of the top is reinforced with a technical mesh that guarantees its durability.‎ An HPL laminate substrate supports the top.‎
