Pietra Side Table by Gubi Continuing GamFratesi’s material exploration of travertine that began with the Epic and Doric Tables, the Pietra Side Tables celebrate the mesmerizing patterns found in the surface of the stone. Available in two sizes and two colors, the tables are deceptively lightweight, each constructed by hand from six pieces but resembling solid blocks. A raised lip around the gently curving edge of the tabletop creates a useful tray-like surface, ideal for displaying objects or placing a glass securely. Carefully cut, fitted, and finished, the curved edges and corners exemplify the extraordinary level of craftsmanship behind the table, and imbue the stone with a sense of softness. Named after the Italian word for stone in honor of both the material and its origin, Pietra is a celebration of the mesmerizing patterns found in the surface of the travertine – an artwork created over millions of years by the actions of the Earth itself. Every piece of travertine displays a unique pattern of color and veining – so no two tables are ever the same.
