The front drawing marks 33 cm wide and 40 cm high (13 x 15.7 in); the top is square, 33 x 33 cm.

Travertine, continued

GUBI places the Pietra Side Tables in GamFratesi's material exploration of travertine that began with the Epic and Doric Tables. The tables celebrate the patterns found in the surface of the stone.

Craft and softness

Carefully cut, fitted and finished, the curved edges and corners are described as an example of the craftsmanship behind the table, imbuing the stone with a sense of softness.
