Luca Nichetto and Danish design brand &Tradition mark ten years of creative collaboration with a limited edition of the iconic Lato table, produced in just 100 pieces and reimagined in unprecedented materials. This milestone celebrates a partnership that began in 2015, during which Nichetto has created a diverse collection of lighting, lounge furniture, and tables that blend classic and contemporary forms with a distinctive visual language. His designs reflect a dialogue between Scandinavian discipline and Italian craftsmanship, merging functionality with a poetic sensibility.

The Lato table, inspired by childhood memories of sweets from Nichetto's grandmother, embodies this hybrid identity. Its form, reminiscent of an inverted lollipop, balances graphic precision with delicate artistry, featuring a solid stone base supporting a slender stem that rises to a rounded tabletop. For the limited edition, a milky onyx base introduces the language of precious gems—a recurring motif in Nichetto's work—while the natural variation of the stone ensures each piece is unique. Brushed steel adds a contemporary industrial touch, juxtaposing tradition and innovation in a single object.
Nichetto reflects on the collaboration: "Over these ten years, this hybrid identity has become my way of working, combining Italian passion for craft and storytelling with Scandinavian discipline and focus. It's no longer about choosing between the two, but about allowing them to enrich each other naturally."
The Lato table limited edition highlights the power of cross-cultural collaboration, demonstrating how heritage, materiality, and narrative can come together to create timeless, functional art. Each table stands as a testament to a decade of shared vision and creative exchange, bridging Italian and Scandinavian design philosophies into a cohesive and contemporary aesthetic.
