The Torii table designed by Marconato & Zappa clearly demonstrates its exotic inspiration: the slightly inclined metal elements that make up the base recall the entrances to Japanese Shinto shrines from which the table takes its name.‎The Torii ST (Swivel Top) version with rotating top catches the eye thanks to the large circular top surface which features an interesting interplay between materials and which combines the outermost wooden frame with a rotating central ceramic section.‎ The result is a contrast of materials and finishes for a table with an significant theatrical presence.‎ Inspired by the architecture of traditional Japanese Shinto temples, which give rise to the name “Torii Table stands out on account of the “tectonic” qualities of the base, composed of two slightly inclined metal elements.‎ The elegant design is completed by the rigorous top which is available in wood, ceramic or marble.‎ The formal qualities of the project designed by Marconato & Zappa emerge forcefully in the version which offers a single-material finish both for the top and the decorative inserts of the legs.‎
