This striking octagonal travertine coffee table from the 1970s embodies the sculptural precision and geometric experimentation of Italian modernist design. The faceted silhouette of the top creates a bold architectural presence, while its clean proportions and minimalist structure highlight the inherent beauty of the stone.
Carved from a solid 3 cm travertine slab, the tabletop reveals warm ivory and sandy tonalities enhanced by delicate natural veining. Resting on a star-shaped pedestal, the design plays with symmetry and balance, giving the piece both solidity and lightness. The beveled edges add refinement, accentuating the transitions of light across the surface.
At once functional and monumental, this table serves not just as a surface but as a centerpiece, perfect for collectors, architects, and interior designers seeking rare sculptural works in stone. Its octagonal form is especially prized within the collectible design market for its ability to anchor a space with timeless elegance.
