Overview
The IOI Side Table by GamFratesi is a compact round table built from travertine, steel and brass. GUBI characterizes the design through Italian materiality and geometric Art Deco references expressed in a contemporary language.
Construction
A Rippled Beige travertine top sits above legs formed from paired metal tubes. Brass spheres connect the tubes, producing the I-O-I motif from which the collection takes its name. Black and chrome base choices are listed.
Specifications
Item 10129139 measures Ø50 cm and 50 cm high on the official drawing.
Story
The I-O-I motif
GUBI explains the name through the leg structure: two upright tubes are linked by a sphere, turning the letters I-O-I into a physical arrangement. The small brass junctions punctuate the otherwise slender support.
Two base expressions
The side-table page lists one round size with either a black semi-matt base or a chrome base. Both variants retain the same travertine top and brass-sphere construction.
