Description
Designed by GamFratesi the Doric table is an inspiration from ancient Greek architecture. A response to the architectural traditions of the classical era, GamFratesi's Doric table continues an exploration that the duo began with the Epic table and extends the studio's material investigation into the aesthetic and functional possibilities of limestone.
The tables are made of travertine or limestone, building materials used since Roman times. Although different in color, both varieties of natural stone have a raw materiality that adds rich texture and depth to the table, and a natural veining that brings inherent visual interest to the expression of each table.
The Doric table is a design of dualities, contrasts and harmonies, synthesizing opposing characteristics into one coherent expression. In addition to balancing the historic and the contemporary, the table is both curved and geometric, hard and soft, with the rectangular shape of the top counterbalanced by its slightly rounded corners and the decorative contours of the carved legs.
The table is available in two types of natural stone, each with its own distinctive color. The travertine version is a beautifully shaded neutral white; while the limestone is a bright electric gray, which has a more dramatic pattern. Each piece produced in these stones is unique, with the earth's ancient history inscribed in its surface.
With their own dual heritage, Italian Enrico Fratesi and Dane Stine Gam share GUBI's ability to synthesize seemingly opposing ideas: the classic and the contemporary, the intellectual and the sensual, the discreet and the expressive, the manufactured and the unique.
This seductive combination of styles is perfectly embodied in the Doric table's harmonic balance between the historic and the contemporary.
