GUBI Doric Coffee Tables

Description

The defining feature of the Doric Table is the inward curve of the legs, the result of material subtraction from a simple shape. What could have been a monolithic, hard-edged profile is given lightness and softness by carving into each of its four legs - a contemporary reinterpretation of the fluted detailing often found in the Doric column. As well as balancing historic and contemporary, the table is both curved and geometric, hard and soft, with the rectangular form of the tabletop counterbalanced by its gently rounded corners and the decorative contours of the carved legs.
