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.
This solid travertine cube, crafted in Italy during the 1970s, is one of the most formally direct objects in the VV Interior Home collection — a perfect cube of stone, 53 × 53 × 45 cm, that requires no structural elaboration because the geometry itself is the design.
The cube format exposes all six faces of the travertine simultaneously — top, sides and base — creating a three-dimensional geological composition where the veining does not simply decorate a surface but wraps around the entire volume. Ivory, beige and warm sand tones move across the stone with the organic continuity of a material that was never designed but simply extracted and shaped.
At 53 × 53 × 45 cm the piece functions equally as a side table, a coffee table for a compact space, or a sculptural pedestal for a ceramic or object — the three uses that a cube of this proportion invites naturally and with equal formal authority.
The cube is perhaps the most resolved form in furniture design — and in travertine, cut from the living stone, it becomes something more than furniture. It becomes a block of geological time given a function.
Year: 1970s Origin: Italy Material: Solid travertine — ivory, beige and warm sand tones Measurements: 53 × 53 × 45 cm Condition: Very good for age — natural variations in stone consistent with the material
