Design by designers duo Gam-fratesi.
After launching the beautiful Epic tables, Gubi and the well-known designer duo Gam-Fratesi continue to explore the timeless, functional and also aesthetic natural stone in the form of the new collection of coffee tables; doric. Door coffee tables come in two types of natural stone; Italian Travertine Stone and Limestone and is available in two sizes.
The Doric coffee tables by designers duo Gam-Fratesi are inspired by Greek Antiquity and later Roman classical architecture Doric, the oldest and least exuberant of the three architectural styles. The Doric style is more subdued, symmetrical, simple and often only with vertical ornamentation which is most often seen on the famous Doric stone pillars.
The most striking detail on the new Doric coffee table is the inward curved table leg, the result of material subtraction from a simple shape. What could have been a hard-edged monolithic profile is given an unexpected and seductive lightness and softness by carving into each of the four legs - a contemporary reinterpretation of the ribbed details often found in the Doric column. In short, classic material comes into contact with contemporary design.
By recontextualizing this one architectural detail in a piece of furniture, GamFratesi manages to imbue the design with a sense of history that counterbalances its undeniably modern look. While the surface of the table shows off the natural beauty of the stone, the legs demonstrate the sculptural quality of the piece and emphasize the level of craftsmanship that went into the creation.
The Doric table is a coffee table with a unique character in two types of stone, each with its own special color. The travertine version is beautiful because of its neutral white/beige nuances and the limestone has a striking texture to whimsical gray tones and also gives the elegant table a dramatic effect. Every table in these types of stone is unique, every table is different and so you have incorporated a piece of Mother Earth's history into an eye-catcher of a coffee table.
The Doric tables come in two sizes; a square, ideal for creating cozy corners and there is a rectangular variant that combines nicely with a large piece of furniture or sofa.

About the designers:
The Danish-Italian design duo Gam-Fratesi has been working with GUBI since the founding of their studio and share their own heritage, to seemingly synthesize the opposing ideas, the classical and contemporary, the understated and the expressive. Constantly challenging the status quo with respect for what was before, their collaboration provides an evolutionary quality that forms the basis for their relationship and business success.
