Zanotta - Niobe oval coffee table with a black Marquinia marble top

The forms of nature and the processes that occur without man laying hand on them: for example, a river rock split in two with the upper side smoothed out by water and time, whilst the lower side has maintained its curvature.

The slabs of Carrara, Marquinia or Emperador marble are opaque, warm and pleasant to the touch, supported simply on a minimal metal base in black or white.

Zanotta

Founded in 1954, Zanotta is recognized as one of the major protagonists of the history of Italian design. In particular since the 1960s, guided by the intuition and extraordinary entrepreneurial ability of its founder Aurelio Zanotta, conquer the international scene thanks to emblematic products for formal innovation. The technological research supported by the continuous evolution of the quality of materials and production processes is one of the best in the world.

The cultured and precious history of Zanotta is renewed in 2017 in the union with Tecno starting a common project. This implies the consequent strengthening of synergies and commercial strategies at the international level under the guidance of Giuliano Mosconi. It brings irony to the domestic universe, which suggests different ways to feel better in the world of the home, which for the first time has included in its catalog the works of the great masters of design, creating an unparalleled "collection" of masterpieces, awarded and exhibited in the most important design museums.
