Italian Cream Travertine Rectangular Coffee Table — Dual Height, 1970s
This rectangular travertine coffee table from Italy, 1970s, is one of the most formally unusual pieces in the VV Interior Home collection — a 120 × 60 cm slab of cream travertine that can be configured at two different heights: 43 cm as a standard coffee table, or 23 cm as an exceptionally low sculptural surface. The dual-height mechanism is built into the travertine base itself — no metal, no hardware, only stone rearranged.
The ability to reconfigure the height transforms the table from a purely functional object into a compositional tool — one that adapts to the space rather than imposing a fixed presence. At 43 cm it functions as a commanding living table; at 23 cm it becomes almost a floor object, a horizontal plane of stone that anchors the room from below.
The cream travertine reveals stunning horizontal veining and tonal variations from warm beige to soft marfil — a palette that shifts with natural light throughout the day. The surface is generous and uninterrupted — 120 × 60 cm of continuous stone, undivided by joints or seams.
A rare configuration in Italian postwar stone furniture — formal versatility built not from mechanical ingenuity but from the intelligence of the stone itself.
Year: 1970s Origin: Italy Material: Solid cream travertine — beige and marfil tones Measurements: 120 × 60 cm · Heights: 43 cm and 23 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.
