DESIGN: GamFratesi, 2022 Discover a refined dialogue between heritage craftsmanship and contemporary expression with the Detour Coffee Table, an avant-garde centrepiece designed to anchor modern living spaces with quiet confidence. Conceived by the visionary design duo GamFratesi, DETOUR embodies the notion of artistic diversion—both in its physical structure and as a conceptual departure from the expected. The name “DETOUR” is integral to the design narrative. It speaks not only to a physical deviation, expressed through the table’s intricately structured legs, but also to a symbolic shift away from conventional furniture design. The dynamic interplay of lines evokes the image of diverging paths, resulting in a distinctive, sculptural base that lends the table its unmistakable identity and visual intrigue. Resting atop this expressive framework are two Vienna straw shells, elegantly concealing the wooden tabletops beneath. This material choice introduces a sense of lightness and transparency, while paying homage to traditional Viennese craftsmanship. The curved beech frame, available in either lacquered black or a warm natural finish, provides structural harmony, complemented by brass-ended feet that add a subtle note of refined luxury. Choose the Detour Coffee Table by Gebrüder Thonet Vienna GmbH, and allow your interior to reflect a seamless blend of design heritage and modern flair. More than a functional surface, this table is an artful detour from the ordinary—a statement piece that elevates everyday living through thoughtful design.
