Pasta machine – Otello

The history of Marcato started in 1930 with the intuition of Otello Marcato, who created the first manual pasta machine to make it easier to prepare fresh homemade pasta.

Otello is the limited-edition machine that celebrates the original project of the company founder, reinterpreting the brand’s traditional design with modern technologies, quality materials and exclusive finishes.

Design

Otello features some cutting-edge technical solutions already in the original project, such as the control to change the thickness of the sheet of pasta, now with 7 positions. The modern version of the machine brings together the Marcato technologies features in the other models in the range: the anodised aluminium alloy rollers, the highly resistant polymer resin combs and the removable resin scrapers to ensure better cleaning.

Finishes

The structure of Othello is made of chromed aluminium with a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment, a process that deposits a thin metal film on chrome, which hardens the surface and ensures a spectacular aesthetic effect. Otello is available in three colours: Sky Chrome, Copper Bronze and Gun Metal.

Wood types

The bases and knobs of the handle, which match the three colours of the machine, are made with three different types of solid wood, which give it a vintage look, whilst retaining the typical stability and strength Marcato products The wood is treated with natural oil to increase resistance and durability over time.

The wood types associated with the colours are:

Sky Chrome – Ash
Copper Bronze – Elm
Gun Metal – Wenge
