Tottolo: A Table Shaped by Playful Curiosity, Not Perfection
"If you've ever been handed something made by a child a lopsided drawing, a collage of construction paper and glue you know how precious it is. What might look imperfect is, to them, a record of focus, joyful creativity, and sheer imagination, untouched by rules or expectations. Designed by Sergei Lvov of Levantin Studio and produced by Uneven Objects, Tottolo carries that same spirit: a table shaped not by logic, but by intuition, play, and the freedom to create without constraint."
"Tottolo draws inspiration from childhood memories around a grandfather's workbench, where curious eyes watched scraps of wood take shape through instinct, not instruction. Even its name feels childlike more sound than word, playful and open-ended, as if invented on the spot. That same intuitive energy is embedded in the table's form. The legs were carved with joy and curiosity rather than precision, guided by feeling instead of formula. There was no idea of correct only the confidence to let spontaneity and imagination lead the way."
Tottolo embodies a playful, childlike spirit that prioritizes intuition, spontaneity, and imaginative form over technical precision. The design is inspired by childhood memories of a grandfather's workbench, where pieces of wood were shaped by instinct rather than instruction. The table's legs emphasize feeling and curiosity through carved, organic forms instead of formulaic symmetry. The name feels more like sound than word, reinforcing a spontaneous character. Tottolo is available with either an MDF top that continues across the legs with matte or high-gloss lacquer, or a glass top offered in matte or glossy finishes. Four signature colorways—Ultramarine Blue, Vermilion Red, Wine Plum, and Pearl White—accentuate its expressive personality.
