Italian Travertine Square Coffee Table — Two Block Legs, 1970s
This square travertine coffee table, crafted in Italy during the 1970s, presents a structural solution of particular formal clarity — a 100 × 100 cm top of 4 cm thickness supported by two monumental block legs arranged in a cross formation. The result is a composition that achieves equilibrium through the precise distribution of weight — the mass of the top balanced by the geometry of the support beneath it.
The 4 cm top thickness is notable — significantly more substantial than most travertine coffee tables of this period — and gives the piece a material weight and horizontal authority that distinguishes it within the VV Interior Home collection. The ivory and sandy tones of the stone are animated by distinctive veining that moves across the surface with geological rhythm, each line a record of the stone's formation over centuries.
At 100 × 100 × 45 cm the table occupies a generous footprint and sits at a height that positions it as a primary living room table — commanding in surface, substantial in material, resolved in form.
A strong and formally confident example of Italian postwar stone design — where the two-leg cross construction introduces a structural intelligence that elevates the piece beyond the straightforward pedestal format.
Year: 1970s Origin: Italy Material: Solid travertine — ivory and sandy tones Measurements: 100 × 100 × 45 cm · Top thickness 4 cm Condition: Very good for age — natural variations in stone consistent with the material

These are antique pieces and are sold as such. Although VV does its best to highlight major flaws, minor imperfections should be expected reflecting the age and previous use of the piece.
