About Us

What is special about the tables?

The table top consists of a volcanic stone with hand-painted and a “burned-in” ceramic layer. Each table top is unique. The hand-painted classic Italian designs can also be personalized or the design of the table top can be designed by the client and is implemented accordingly in the factory. This creates a very personal one of a kind piece! The classic designs come from the Renaissance and have been developed over the centuries. In the meantime, there are also modern designs.

Our factory is in Deruta, Umbria. There is a long tradition of ceramic art there. Pieces from Deruta are now on display in the Hermitage in Moscow or in the British Museum in London.

What are the advantages of the ceramic layer on the table top?

The volcanic stone is “baked” twice in the oven at approx. 1000 degrees Celsius, once before it is painted by hand and once afterwards. The table surface becomes extremely hard that it is absolutely heat and frost resistant. The color does not fade even in constant strong sunlight. Even acid and salt cannot harm the tabletop. This makes them the ideal garden tables.

What material is the frame made of?

Long-term weather resistance was also taken into account with the frame. It is made from hot-dip galvanized iron. The frame gets powder coated and then also “baked” in the oven. This procedure guarantees longevity of the product.

Do you have matching chairs for the tables?

Yes, we have the matching chairs and cushions for our volcanic stone tables in the desired design. You can order these, too. And the special highlight: You can also order the matching plates, glasses / cups, serving plates and even cutlery or lamps. Even if you have chosen a personalized table design. This is all possible thanks to the manual production “Made in Italy”.

Our products

The production of the table begins with the careful selection of the stone, as not all pieces are equally suitable for the specific processing. The slabs of the volcanic rock are first cleaned of impurities. The stone is then heated to over 1000 degrees Celsius in an oven. A second firing process allows the brightest and most beautiful colors to be obtained. The table top is enamelled, painted by hand, crystallized and placed in the oven a second time.

Italian ceramics

Deruta is a small medieval town in Umbria that is known all over the world for its classic and modern ceramics. Their artistic tradition dates back to the Etruscan period and reached their artistic peak in the Renaissance. The Deruta Raffaellesco brand Dragon Design is a very special local style which was designed by Raphael. An example of this style can be seen in Raphael’s painting “San Michele kicks the dragon”.

Made in Italy

The “Made in Italy” brand has been used since 1980 to show the international uniqueness of Italy in four traditional industries, also known as “Four As”: Abbigliamento (clothing), Agricoltura (food), Arredamento (furniture) and auto (cars.) Italian products are often associated with quality, high specialization, and elegance.
