Round dining table by Claude Berraldacci. 1990s. France.

Round dining table on a square travertine base by Claude Berraldacci. The base is made of faces with slightly offset edges (see detail photo). This table comfortably seats 6 people. This table comes directly from the workshop of designer Claude Berraldacci, who created it in the 1990s. The brand was called "La Pierre Haute Couture." The stone is the purest travertine available. It comes from the Tivoli quarry near Rome, the same quarry that supplied the Vatican buildings, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain. The travertine from this region is very pure, with few veins and a very light color. It is stain-resistant. The stone is worked with Berraldacci's renowned expertise, resulting in a "softened travertine": a natural, matte appearance and a smooth feel. Last photo: portrait of Claude Berraldacci.
