Epic Table Collection

Available in steel in late February 2021

Named after the epic poems of ancient times, GamFratesi’s Epic

Table is a sculptural piece of furniture inspired by Greek columns

and Roman architecture. Originally made in Italy from travertine

stone, the table’s new edition marks the first time GamFratesi has

worked with steel plates, which are galvanized, lacquered, and then

treated with a series of hand-finishing processes to create a unique

surface expression for each table.

The Epic Table combines two simple geometric shapes, the circle

and the hexagon, with references to the classical Greek column. The

hexagonal column is an intelligent solution that enables a substantial

expression to be efficiently constructed from minimal materials

– and this new expression showcases and enhances the steel from

which it is made, while maintaining that simplicity in its laser-cut,

welded forms.

Cooler materials such as metal are seeing a renaissance in interiors,

especially when paired with warmer surfaces such as wood and

stone. Juxtaposing two very different materials, the iterations work

well in combination.
