GamFratesi's IOI collection of coffee and occasional tables is inspired by the geometric shapes of Art Deco and celebrates Italian materials, with solid brass and steel, emperador grey marble and white Carrara marble.
The name IOI comes from the legs, with two vertical bars linked by an "I-O-I" sphere. IOI tables come in 3 heights and 3 diameters, so they can be used individually, in pairs, groups or even clusters.

GamFratesi
Born in Copenhagen (Denmark) in 1975, Stine Gam holds a degree in architecture and a master's degree in Furniture Design. Enrico Fratesi is an Italian born in 1978. After studying architecture, he obtained a master's degree in Industrial Design.
Gam and Fratesi gained experience in several architectural firms in Japan and Scandinavia before opening their own design studio in 2006. Their firm is based in Copenhagen, although Gam and Fratesi are constantly on the move between Italy and Denmark for the development and the research of new projects.
The language of GamFratesi develops as a fusion between tradition and renewal, in an experimental approach on materials and techniques. With their dual tradition, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi design on the basis of classic Danish classic craft-based furniture, incorporating an Italian approach to the typically conceptual project. The results are projects that reflect tradition while incorporating stories, symbols and associations, often expressed through minimalist language. GamFratesi aims to create products that clearly illustrate the process and techniques that created it, reflecting a persistent exploration of the line between harmony and discord.
