Sculptural, symbolic, bold: the table Ettore, homage to master designer Ettore Sottsass, stems from a desire to have fun assembling three classic, primary, geometric elements in an ironic way. The central leg, monumental in size, tapers at the base to produce a lighter look and suggests an ironic contrast between the parts and an unexpected effect, fooling the eyes into believing it doesn’t touch the ground. The effect is emphasized by the choice of materials: the shiny metal of the plate forming the base reflects the leg, producing the illusionary impression that the table is suspended and precariously balanced. The two designers successfully paired the idea of the toy with the vision espoused by Pianca, champion of an elegant, pared-back language punctuated by premium materials and finishes.
