Porcelain stoneware tables: iconic style and maximum durability

Porcelain stoneware is a valuable ally in interior design, not only for creating floor and wall coverings and tiles, but also for creating table tops, such as dining room or living room tables, adding a touch of sophisticated design to any space. 

Why choose a porcelain stoneware table? Advantages and opinions

Porcelain stoneware, in addition to offering a good balance between aesthetics and functionality, has several advantages that make it the perfect material for creating countertops or work surfaces. Its main features include: 

• Resistance to scratches, impacts, and stains, ensuring a surface that lasts over time and retains all its beauty. 
• Ease of cleaning plays a fundamental role in choosing a stoneware table. The non-porous surface prevents the absorption of liquids and bacteria, facilitating maintenance, and hygiene.
• Versatile aesthetics: the wide range of colors, effects, and textures available on the market makes porcelain stoneware a perfect material for design projects, creating different looks in any residential, public, or commercial space. 

Which effect to choose from a stoneware table? Aesthetics, finishes, and large slabs

The choice of effect for a porcelain stoneware table depends greatly on the desired result and the environment in which it will be placed. Emilgroup offers a range of solutions, including stone and marble effects, which are ideal for giving spaces a strong material imprint:

• The stone effect is particularly suitable for rustic environments with a contemporary touch, adding character and depth to spaces.
• The marble effect, on the other hand, evokes the concept of timeless luxury and elegance, thanks to the finely reproduced veins that add refinement and class to the environment.

In addition to marble and stone, a wood-effect porcelain stoneware table is the ideal solution for adding a warm and welcoming touch without sacrificing the strength and practicality of ceramic. An example of this is the Level Wood collection, inspired by the veins of elm and oak.

The finishes of the stoneware table play a fundamental role: they can be glossy, for a touch of luxury and sophistication, or matt, which enhances the texture of the surface, giving it a natural and sober look.

Finally, the use of large slabs allows for the creation of a continuous tabletop, without visible joints or seams. This not only gives the table a uniform, modern, and visually striking appearance, but also makes it easier to clean and ensures greater structural strength.

Exploring the material effects of table slabs: from marble to stone

The faithful reproduction of different materials opens up a range of stylistic and aesthetic possibilities. The marble effect stands out for its timeless elegance: finely reproduced veins, color shades, and gradients, together with the brightness of the surface, recall the natural luxury of this material. Marble-effect porcelain stoneware slabs, such as those in the Level Marmi line, allow you to enjoy the beauty and refinement of marble without the risk of damaging its surface.

For more authentic and rustic tables, consider the Level Stone stone-effect collection, which faithfully reproduces the textures and irregularities typical of natural rock. 

Functional table design: shape and size

A porcelain stoneware table must adapt to different styles not only through color and texture, but also in shape. The most common shapes are square, rectangular, round, or oval, but it is also possible to create custom shapes. Thanks to custom manufacturing, it is possible to create tables with irregular geometries, giving life to unique and distinctive pieces.

Emilgroup offers slabs in different sizes and thicknesses, giving you maximum freedom of choice. On the website, you can find sizes ranging from 162x324 cm to 160x320 cm, with thicknesses available from 6.5 mm, 12 mm, and 20 mm.
