New Taormina Tables: Three Scales for Every Terrace

A Bistro Table, a Square Coffee Table, and a Round Dining Table: same powder-coated aluminium, same two colourways – the original deep green and Haze Sandy. Smaller in scale, identical in construction.

The Bistro Table is 80 cm in diameter: enough for two cups of coffee, a shared breakfast, or a laptop and a glass of water. It is the kind of table that works equally well on a city balcony, in a courtyard corner, or on the front terrace of a café. A table this compact allows tighter spacing on a restaurant veranda without the setup feeling crowded; on a residential terrace where space is limited, it offers a place to sit and eat without dominating the floor.

The single-stem base keeps the ground clear and simplifies cleaning: a quick sweep underneath, nothing to navigate around.

The Round Dining Table is the largest of the three new pieces, but still considerably more compact than the existing rectangular Dining Table. At 120 cm in diameter, it seats four comfortably and can accommodate six when the evening calls for it. The circular form is a practical choice for outdoor dining: there is no head of the table, no awkward corner seats, and the proportions remain balanced regardless of how many chairs surround it.

On a restaurant floor, rounds make better use of irregular terrace layouts than rectangles do. At home, they encourage the kind of gathered, unhurried meal that a terrace is for.

At 90×90 cm, the Square Coffee Table is a more compact alternative to the existing rectangular version. Where the larger table suits a full sofa-and-armchair arrangement, the square fits a tighter grouping: two lounge chairs on a smaller terrace, or a single sofa against a wall. It is low, stable, and light enough to reposition when the shade moves.

Its role is spatial rather than decorative: it gives the seating arrangement a centre and keeps the grouping together.

All three tables share the construction principles established by the rest of the Taormina collection. The aluminium frame is powder-coated and UV-resistant: it will not peel, discolour, or corrode under direct sun. Maintenance is limited to a wipe-down with a damp cloth. There is no seasonal treatment, no protective cover required, no material that asks you to worry about it.

This is not new for Taormina – the same properties apply to every piece in the range – but it bears repeating in the context of tables, which take the most direct contact with food, drink, sun, and rain. A surface that handles all four without complaint is a practical necessity, not a luxury.
