Italian Travertine Modular Coffee Table — Two Triangular Elements, 1970s
This modular travertine coffee table, crafted in Italy during the 1970s, is composed of two triangular stone elements that can be arranged together to form a unified whole or displayed independently as separate objects. The triangular format is exceptionally rare in Italian stone furniture of this period — a formal choice that introduces a geometric tension absent from the more common round, square and rectangular stone tables of the same era.
When assembled together the two triangles form a larger compositional mass — their combined footprint of 134 × 97 cm creates a substantial and architecturally confident surface at 40 cm height. Separated, each element functions as an independent side table or accent object with a strong geometric identity of its own.
The 3 cm travertine displays warm ivory tones with delicate veining that gives the surface a quiet natural depth. The angular geometry of the triangular tops creates a dynamic interplay of edges and surfaces that catches light differently from every angle — an optical quality that no round or square table can replicate.
A compositionally unusual and formally bold example of Italian postwar stone design — where the modular logic introduces a flexibility and spatial intelligence that transcends the purely functional.

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.
