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.
Stone, when resolved into pure geometry, needs nothing else.
This pair of Italian travertine side tables exemplifies the material conviction that defined Italian design in the 1970s — the belief that stone, shaped with precision and restraint, is already complete. Each piece is constructed as a single continuous U-form: top slab and two lateral panels resolved in one uninterrupted gesture, with no joints visible, no hardware, no concession to artifice. The structure holds by weight alone.
The warm ivory travertine reveals its full geological character across every surface — lateral veining, fossil inclusions, tonal shifts between cream and sand that shift with the light. Honed to a matte finish, the stone absorbs rather than reflects, lending each piece a quiet, grounded presence that commands without imposing.
The formal language — monolithic, self-sufficient, reduced to its essential geometry — places these tables firmly within the Italian stone design tradition of the period, in the manner of Up&Up, the Pistoia-based manufacturer known for its uncompromising approach to travertine as both material and structure. Versatile by design: placed together they form a composed ensemble; separated, each piece holds its own with equal authority.
Sold as a pair. Condition consistent with age and consistent with character.
Origin: Italy Period: c. 1970s Medium: Italian travertine Construction: Monolithic U-form, no hardware Measurements: Each piece 60 × 40 cm · Height: 20 cm
