IOI Coffee Table
Design by GamFratesiThe IOI Coffee Tables by GamFratesi are a celebration of Italian materiality, featuring travertine. Drawing on geometric Art Deco references with a contemporary design language, the collection explores the empty space between the physical form as much as the form itself. 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. At two different heights and diameters, the IOI Coffee Tables work well in pairs, groups and even clusters or alone as a single table alongside GUBI’s extensive range of lounge chairs and sofas.
At two different heights and diameters, the IOI Coffee Tables can be used individually or combined in pairs, groups, or clusters, making them a versatile complement to GUBI’s extensive range of lounge chairs and sofas. A modern homage to the elegant geometries of Art Deco design, GamFratesi’s IOI Collection reflects the studio’s dedication to honest materiality and its fascination with the interplay of form and space, resulting in tables that are both functional and sculptural.
Gamfratesi
GamFratesi has been working with GUBI since the inception of their studio and the development of the Beetle Chair. With their own dual heritage, Italien Enrico Fratesi and Danish Stine Gam share GUBI's ability to synthesize seemingly opposing ideas - the classic and the contemporary, the intellectual and the sensual, the understated and the expressive, the manufactured and the unique. These juxtapositions, as well as the boldness and curiosity that drives their desire to find inspiration in unfamiliar territory, are epitomized in the Beetle.
