Compass Rose

Compass Rose is a bold, graphic statement centred around a traditional nautical wind rose. Radiating points in red, navy, teal, ochre and olive create strong symmetry, framed by a detailed outer ring that references the classical compass quadrants.

This design is structured and intentional. Where floral patterns bring softness and movement, Compass Rose delivers precision and balance. The geometry anchors the space. It works particularly well in contemporary outdoor settings, coastal homes, or architectural courtyards where clean lines matter.

The outer border carries directional inscriptions and fine hand-painted detailing, giving the piece historical character without feeling ornamental or busy. The palette is vibrant but controlled — colour is used with discipline.

Each tabletop is hand-painted on solid Mount Etna lava stone and kiln-fired at high temperature, permanently bonding the glaze into the volcanic surface. The result is exceptional UV stability, thermal resistance and durability suited to harsh Australian sun.

This design is confident, structured and built to last.

Premium Natural Materials

Each tabletop is cut from natural volcanic lava stone sourced from Mount Etna, Sicily. Formed by nature and selected for structural strength, each piece is a solid 3cm-thick stone slab — dense, stable and built to endure. The base is handcrafted wrought iron, finished with a durable fire-painted coating for long-term performance.
Artisanal Decoration Process

The decorative surface is created using traditional ceramic glazes, applied by hand in multiple layers. The pigments are mineral-based and designed to fuse permanently with the stone during firing. The artwork is not applied as a transfer or surface film. Every brushstroke is painted directly onto the stone before firing, making each piece one of a kind. Colours are built gradually through layered glazing techniques. This creates depth and movement within the design, rather than flat surface colour.
After painting, the table is fired in a kiln at extremely high temperatures. This process vitrifies the glaze, permanently bonding it to the lava stone and creating a hard, glass-like surface.
Weather & UV Resilience

Once fired, the glazed surface becomes highly resistant to UV exposure. Colours remain vibrant even under the prolonged Australian sun. Lava stone naturally tolerates high temperatures, and the kiln-fired glaze further enhances its thermal resistance. In addition, the vitrified glaze creates a sealed, non-porous surface. This makes the table resistant to moisture, humidity, scratches and general outdoor exposure.
Bespoke Customisation Options

When placing your order, you may include a customisation request for the selected design. This can include adding specific decorative elements, adjusting colours to suit your interior or outdoor setting, or incorporating a short inscription in a nominated area of the table.
After your purchase, our team will contact you to review the request in detail. Production will only commence once the custom design has been confirmed and approved by you.
Heritage & Handcrafted Production

Production takes place in Vietri sul Mare, a region known for centuries of ceramic craftsmanship. Each table is painted by skilled artisans — not printed or mass-produced.
Secure International Shipping

Each table is secured in a custom-built wooden crate for international transport, ensuring safe shipment from Italy to Australia.
Free shipping is included Australia-wide on all made-to-order tables.
Care & Maintenance

Our lava stone tables are highly durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for indoor/outdoor use, requiring only simple cleaning with warm water, pH-neutral soap, and a soft cloth.
