Lava stone tables: choosing guide

Shape, size, and number of seats

Start with the available space and the number of people who will use the table. Its shape, diameter, or length should leave room for the chairs and comfortable circulation around the top.

Decoration, edge, and finish

The decoration can echo the colors and style of the setting or become its focal point. Edge and finish complete the design and should be chosen together, taking light, furniture, and frequency of use into account.

Base and intended use

The base must support the weight and shape of the top correctly without limiting legroom. A home, garden, patio, or professional venue calls for different assessments of stability, footprint, and intensity of use.

Outdoor use and maintenance

The ceramized surface is also suitable for outdoor use and can normally be cleaned with water, a soft cloth, and neutral detergent. In exposed spaces, the stability of the base, standing water, and regular cleaning of the top should also be considered.

Customization, quote, and delivery

For an accurate proposal, specify the shape, size, decoration, base, intended use, and delivery location. The quote should then confirm the included components, production time, and agreed delivery arrangements.

Lava stone table prices and availability

The Artesole catalog offers hundreds of combinations of decorations, shapes, sizes, and bases. Prices depend on shape, size, base, chairs, decoration, and requested customizations; configurable product pages let you compare the available combinations.

Some decorations draw inspiration from Italian and Mediterranean ceramic traditions. Each table is still made by Artesole from Etna lava stone and can be customized in colors, borders, and sizes.

Before confirming, always check what the proposal includes: top only, complete table, any chairs, special work, and shipping. A dedicated quote is required for non-standard solutions.

How an Artesole table is made

Each top follows a sequence of processes combining stone preparation, glazing, decoration, and firing.

Preparing the lava stone

The Etna lava stone slab is cut and shaped according to the form and size defined in the project. The top is then prepared for the subsequent surface processes.

Ceramizing the surface

The surface is glazed to create the ceramic base for the next stages. Together with the subsequent firing, the glaze bonds with the stone and defines the properties of the ceramized top.

Decoration by hand

The design is transferred to the top and painted by hand. Colors, edge, and details can be adapted to the project while preserving the handcrafted character of each piece.

Firing, cooling, and final inspection

The glazed and decorated top is fired at high temperature and left to cool. Its surface, finish, and conformity with the project are then checked before the table is completed.

Ceramised lava stone is also suitable for outdoor areas and locations near the sea. Where salt air is present, pay particular attention to the metal base and choose suitable protection against corrosion.
