Ionic is one of the three orders of classical architecture developed at 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 the creation of the Ionic center tables, 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the base and capital as the missing shaft has been replaced by a modern metal structure that embraces the two separated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.
