The latest design to emerge from GamFratesi's exploration of travertine stone, Pietra is a pair of side tables that balance monumental presence with delicacy and softness.

Continuing their material exploration of travertine that began with the Epic and Doric Tables, the Pietra Side Tables celebrate the mesmerizing patterns found in the surface of the stone. Available in two sizes and two colors, the tables are deceptively lightweight, each constructed by hand from six pieces but resembling solid blocks. A raised lip around the gently curving edge of the tabletop creates a useful tray-like surface, ideal for displaying objects or placing a glass securely. Carefully cut, fitted, and finished, the curved edges and corners exemplify the extraordinary level of craftsmanship behind the table, and imbue the stone with a sense of softness.

Named after the Italian word for stone in honor of both the material and its origin, Pietra is a celebration of the mesmerizing patterns found in the surface of the travertine, an artwork created over millions of years by the actions of the Earth itself. Every piece of travertine displays a unique pattern of color and veining, so no two tables are ever the same.

The table is formed from six pieces of stone fixed together by hand, giving the impression of a single monomaterial block, while remaining deceptively lightweight and easily transportable. The imposing solidity of Pietra's cuboid form is offset by the gentle contours of its edges and corners, which are hand-polished to a smooth curve, giving the table a distinctly sculptural look. Around the upper edges, a raised lip turns the tabletop into a useful tray-like surface, ideal for displaying objects or securely placing cups and glasses. This makes Pietra well suited to use as a bedside table, as a practical companion to a lounge chair in a living room, or in the case of the larger of the two variants, alongside a sofa or at the end of a bed.

Both versions, small and large, are crafted entirely from travertine. The Pietra Side Tables are supplied in Neutral White, which is characterized by veins of white and gray, and Lively Sepia, which includes a rich medley of shades, including browns, tans, and grays.
