Italian Granite Round Coffee Tables — Set of 3, Octagonal Base, 1970s
This set of three Italian granite coffee tables from the 1970s introduces a material and formal language distinct from the travertine and marble pieces that define the rest of the VV Interior Home collection — solid granite, deep grey with crystalline patterns, and a bold octagonal base that gives each piece a structural identity of its own.
The three tables share the same circular top — Ø 60 cm — and differ only in height: 42, 37 and 32 cm respectively. The octagonal base is the formal decision that defines the set — eight faceted planes of granite that introduce a geometric complexity absent from the cylindrical or monolithic bases of most Italian stone tables of the same period. The contrast between the circular top and the octagonal base creates a productive formal tension that makes each piece immediately recognisable.
The grey granite displays the characteristic crystalline texture of the material — a surface that catches light differently from marble or travertine, with a granular depth that rewards close observation. Dense, cold, and permanent — a stone that communicates solidity and geological age with complete directness.
At 60 cm in diameter the tables have a generous top surface relative to their varied heights — versatile as a set in a composed cluster or as individual accent pieces distributed across a space.
Year: 1970s Origin: Italy Material: Solid granite — deep grey with crystalline patterns Measurements: — Table 1: Ø 60 cm · Height 42 cm — Table 2: Ø 60 cm · Height 37 cm — Table 3: Ø 60 cm · Height 32 cm — Top thickness: 2 cm Condition: Very good for age — natural variations in stone consistent with the material Sold as: Complete set of three

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.
