Large square coffee table in travertine by Claude Berraldacci. 1990s. France.

Large coffee table in travertine by Claude Berraldacci. This table is a true sculpture with a 3 cm thick top, which is extremely rare for a travertine table. The top rests on 4 V-shaped legs. This table comes directly from the workshop of the creator Claude Berraldacci, who designed it in the 1990s. The brand was called "la Pierre haute couture". The stone is the purest available in travertine. It comes from the Tivoli quarry near Rome, from which the buildings of the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain are extracted. The travertine from this region is very pure, with few veins and a very light colour. It is stain-resistant. The stone is worked with the great expertise of Berraldacci, allowing for a "softened travertine": natural and matte appearance, soft to the touch. His work enhances the timeless dimension of his pieces, which harmonise with all styles of decoration (a phrase often clichéd but true for travertine). Last photo: portrait of Claude Berraldacci.
