The Poodle coffee table by Marsotto Edizioni, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, is a perfect balance between essentiality and material strength. Its cylindrical legs and compact top interact with the solidity of the marble, transforming the material into a light and harmonious object. A small totem of elegance, sculpted over time, capable of fitting gracefully into any space, giving it a silent but intense presence.
