IOI Side Table - Round

Designer: GamFratesi, 2019
The IOI Side Table by GamFratesi is a celebration of Italian materiality, featuring solid brass, steel, and now 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.
A modern-day homage to the elegant geometries of Art Deco design, GamFratesi’s IOI Collection showcases the studio’s 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.
