Sett is a series of tables showcasing the innate beauty of marble and glass, inspired by a jewellery technique, where precious gems are inlaid and precisely ‘set’ into a frame. Designed by Luca Nichetto, the look is sharp and sophisticated, alluding to the influence of Scandinavian functionalism infused with Nichetto’s Italian accent on objects with visual impact.
