Description

IONIC square side table

The IONIC square side table was developed on the basis of one of the three orders of classical architecture, based on the ancient Greek temples.. Contrary to the Doric, the oldest order, the columns of Ionic and Corinthian orders were composed by three elements: base, shaft and capital.

As centuries passed by, many of the impressive temples were destroyed or simply collapsed. The remains of Ionic temples with their beautiful surviving columns motivated Joana Santos Barbosa from InsidherLand the creation of the IONIC side tables square, each one with tripartite columns missing one of its elements.

This approach of an incomplete Ionic column presents uniquely the non ornamented forms of the base and capital as the missing shaft has been replaced by a modern metal structure that embraces the two separated elements. Countering the construction process of ancient temples, the tapered design allows less contact with the floor, in allusion to what would be the use of free modern forms in the tripartite construction of a classical temple.
