Notte Mediterranea

Notte Mediterranea is defined by contrast. A rich black background frames a continuous garland of citrus, pomegranates, blossoms and trailing foliage, forming a wreath that encloses a calm central field.

The dark ground intensifies every colour — warm oranges, soft yellows, muted pinks and layered greens appear sharper and more dimensional. The fruit and florals feel illuminated rather than decorative, creating depth that lighter backgrounds cannot achieve.

Where your pale-field designs feel open and airy, this piece delivers drama and presence. The negative space in the centre keeps it balanced, preventing the darker border from feeling heavy.

Hand-painted on solid Mount Etna lava stone and kiln-fired at high temperature, the glaze permanently bonds to the volcanic slab. The surface resists UV exposure, tolerates heat and maintains colour stability in Australian outdoor conditions.

Particularly suited to contemporary outdoor settings, darker architectural palettes or spaces where you want the table to anchor the room.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
