GHIDINI1961 TRIA TABLE || Green Cipollino Marble Table Turns Stone Into Sculpture
Long before it became a dining table, Green Cipollino marble was already doing the work of design, its undulating grain shaped by millennia of pressure and movement.
Ghidini1961 has selected this marble for the Tria dining table, designed by Lorenza Bozzoli and presented this year in collaboration with Spotti Milano at the design house's showroom on Viale Piave.
Cipollino, whose name derives from the Italian word for onion, is prized for the same layered, wave-like veining that gave it its name centuries ago. In this deep, swirling green, the marble reads less like a surface and more like a slow-moving current, caught mid-motion and pressed into stone.
Up close, the marble's layered veining moves like water caught mid-current, the detail that gives Cipollino its name.
That sense of movement carries through the tabletop's silhouette. Rather than the expected oval or rectangle, the Tria table's top is irregularly shaped, its soft, asymmetrical edges inspired by the cross-section of a river stone. The effect is a piece that feels found rather than drafted, as though the marble simply arrived at this form on its own.
Beneath it, a cluster of cylindrical marble columns rises to meet the top, each column reaching a slightly different height. Ghidini1961 describes the effect as zoomorphic, a sculptural base with just enough asymmetry to feel alive rather than architectural. It is a quiet piece of engineering dressed as instinct.
The table's cylindrical columns rise to slightly different heights, each carved from the same Green Cipollino marble as the top.
The design carries Lorenza Bozzoli's signature instinct for softened, sculptural forms, an instinct that runs through much of her work for Ghidini1961. In a dining room, the Tria table asks to be the room's one loud statement, best paired with quieter chairs and a restrained palette that lets the marble do the talking.
Presented alongside the rest of Ghidini1961's 2026 collection at Spotti Milano, the Tria table is a reminder that a dining table can do more than host a meal. It can anchor a room, hold a mood, and turn a slab of ancient stone into a piece of everyday sculpture.
