This round coffee table for the living room, named Detour, means “a deviation from the path,” not only in a physical sense but also as a metaphor for a change of direction. Indeed, its legs create a play of lines, much like a detour, resulting in a more decorative and distinctive design. Two Vienna straw shells conceal the wooden tabletops and lend lightness to the structure made of steam-bent beechwood, lacquered in black or natural finish, supported by legs with brass tips.

The GamFratesi studio was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. GamFratesi is part of the latest generation of furniture designers, and together they represent a new interpretation of Danish and international design. GamFratesi's designs draw their creative impetus from the fusion of tradition and renewal, as well as from an experimental approach to materials and techniques. With their respective cultures, they draw their inspiration from Danish furniture and Scandinavian craft traditions, but also from Italy's timeless conceptual and intellectual approach. Thanks to this multi-cultural partnership, GamFratesi creates furniture pieces that reflect tradition while presenting unique stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist style. The GamFratesi duo works with some of the biggest names in design, including Gubi, with the Bat collection and the now famous Beetle chair, Hay, with the Silhouette sofa, and also Minotti, Dedon and Fontana Arte.
