1970s Travertine Cube Side Table
This sculptural cube side table from the 1970s is crafted from solid travertine, showcasing the stone’s most distinctive feature: its flowing natural veins. The interplay of ivory, beige, and warm sand tones across the surfaces transforms the piece from a simple geometric volume into a dynamic composition of texture and movement.
Measuring 53 × 53 × 45 cm, the table’s monolithic form conveys architectural presence while its proportions make it versatile, ideal as a side table, coffee table, or pedestal for art and objects. The 3-dimensional expression of travertine’s veining across each side highlights the uniqueness of the stone, ensuring no two pieces are ever alike.
This table reflects the Italian modernist ethos of the 1970s, where pure forms and noble materials were brought together to create furniture that is both functional and enduringly collectible. Its timeless aesthetic makes it equally suitable for minimalist interiors, curated design collections, or as a striking accent in contemporary living spaces.
