“Travertine has been a prized architectural material since the days of the Greeks and Romans, its durability complemented by its extraordinary aesthetic appeal. The stone lends itself beautifully to reinterpretation in the Art Deco context of the IOI Collection, balancing the uniformity of the design’s geometry with the infinitely varied pattern of the surface.”

— Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi

A modern-day homage to the elegant geometries of Art Deco design, GamFratesi’s IOI Collection showcases the their dedication to honest materiality and fascination with the interplay of form and space. Striking and unique, the IOI Collection takes its name from the structure of the table legs, each of which is formed from twin metal tubes linked by a sphere of brass – the letters I-O-I rendered in physical form.

Retaining this slender base, in black or chrome options, GUBI’s new edition introduces a new material and color to the circular tabletop – travertine in Rippled Beige – and refines its shape. The sides are rounded to create a U-shaped edge that arcs evenly on the top and bottom. Sourced in Italy, the use of travertine gives the table strength and sturdiness, gently offset by the soft curves of the edges, and preserves the natural tactility and warm materiality of the stone in the finished design.
