Contemporary Red Side Table Rusty Travertine Stone Design by Josep Vila Capdevila

Rusty Red Travertine Side Table “Coral” – Contemporary Design by Josep Vila Capdevila Capdevila

Handcrafted from rusty red travertine, “Coral” is a one-of-a-kind sculptural side table by Barcelona-based designer Josep Vila Capdevila. The natural stone undergoes a sulfuric acid treatment, a process that dissolves its organic content and exposes the raw mineral particles, resulting in enhanced textural depth and unique coloration.

Part of the acclaimed Vestiges Collection, this collectible piece reflects on material memory and temporal transformation, inspired by a post-apocalyptic vision where recovered fragments become symbols of resilience and hope. Coral explores the poetic tension between permanence and erosion, design and ruin, offering a functional art piece that balances utility with emotional storytelling.

Crafted from raw materials such as stone, metal, concrete, and glass, the collection embraces imperfect beauty, material authenticity, and timeless form.
