Travertine brings timeless elegance and natural warmth.

Travertine, featured in the Giro Collection by Vincent van Duysen, and some other tables is a testament to refined elegance and enduring sophistication. Meticulously selected for its distinctive character and natural beauty, travertine is a sedimentary rock renowned for its unique veining patterns, warm earthy tones, and inherent durability.

Travertine is a durable natural stone with unique veining and warm tones. Protect surfaces from acidic liquids, heat, and moisture by using coasters and pads, clean spills immediately, and maintain regularly with gentle stone-safe cleaners and a microfiber cloth.
