About The Item

The Doric Coffee Table by GamFratesi takes its name from the Doric order of ancient Greek - and later Roman - architecture. The oldest and least ornamental of the three Classical orders, Doric architecture is characterized by restraint, symmetry, and simplicity, with decorative features generally limited to the vertical fluting that is so closely associated with the Doric column. The defining feature of the Doric Coffee Table is the inward curve of the legs, the result of material subtraction from a simple shape. While the table's surface showcases the natural beauty of the stone, its legs demonstrate the sculptural quality of the piece, and emphasize the level of craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. The table is available in two types of natural stone, each with its own distinctive color. The travertine version is a beautifully nuanced Neutral White; whereas the limestone is a vivacious Electric Gray, which has a more dramatic pattern. Every piece produced in these stones is unique. The Doric Table is available in two sizes: a square version, ideal for cozy corners, and a larger rectangular variant, which pairs well with longer seats and sofas.
