What is a ceramic table, and why choose one?
A ceramic table is a tabletop in porcelain stoneware, often simply called ceramic, mounted on a metal or wooden base. Porcelain stoneware is fired at a very high temperature: the result is an extremely dense, non-porous material, very resistant to scratches, heat and stains.
Unlike natural marble, ceramic does not stain and does not patina. Unlike wood, it does not fear humidity. Unlike glass, it withstands the knocks of daily life. It is the most practical material for a table that lasts.
A word of caution about imported tables: they are generally tables with a glass top onto which a thin layer of ceramic has been glued. They sound hollow, are noisy in use and have an unattractive extra thickness. Our tables follow a specific manufacturing process: quiet, very slim in appearance and elegant. Manufacturer, not importer
