DESIGN CONTEXT

Designed by Giotto Stoppino for Kartell in 1968, these Giotto Stoppino tables are among the most celebrated examples of Italian plastic furniture. Their modular construction and sculptural geometry perfectly capture the experimental spirit of late 1960s Italian design while remaining remarkably functional today.

The set consists of three nesting tables in glossy black ABS plastic, each fitting neatly beneath the next to create a compact sculptural composition. Used together or separately, they function as side tables, coffee tables or display stands, offering exceptional flexibility with a minimal footprint.

Awarded the Compasso d’Oro, the design has become one of Kartell’s enduring icons. These black Giotto Stoppino tables are offer a scupltural and understated architectural character, making this set particularly appealing to collectors of Italian Space Age design.
