Set of Italian Travertine Round Side Tables, 1970s
A Functional Sculpture of Postwar Italian Design
This exceptional set of two side tables from the 1970s embodies the refined language of Italian postwar design, where essential geometry and material integrity converge in a timeless and serene expression. Carved entirely from solid travertine, the pieces balance sculptural presence with understated functionality.
The set consists of two tables sharing the same diameter but featuring different heights, allowing for a dynamic and versatile arrangement. Each table features a gently profiled circular top resting on a solid cylindrical base, creating a monolithic and architectural silhouette. The travertine displays delicate natural stratifications in warm ivory, sand, and beige tones, lending depth, texture, and unique character to each piece.
Minimal yet refined, these tables function both together and individually, integrating seamlessly into contemporary interiors, modernist environments, or carefully curated design collections. Their compact scale and authentic materiality elevate them beyond simple utility, positioning them as sculptural design objects.
Faithful to the spirit of 1970s Italian design — clarity of form, honesty of material, and quiet elegance — this set stands as a timeless example of architectural furniture and refined stone craftsmanship.
