Desco

The origin of the word Desco cannot only be traced back to the table as an object around which one sits while eating, but also to the traditional practice, embedded in Italian culture, of hospitality through food.

Few things make us happier than a well-appointed table, intent on sharing a meal surrounded by family and friends. The Desco Outdoor table, with its uncluttered lines, immediately associated with the archetype of the table, calls to mind values like sturdiness, tradition and practicality.

The table base in solid iroko can be paired with a wood-slat top for an elegant all-wood effect or, alternatively, paired with a stone top in the following types: Beola argentata, porphyry, lava stone, or pietra del Cardoso.

A value-added detail – the ends of the table legs are finished with aluminum tips and protective nylon pads.

The Desco Outdoor family of tables and dining tables is available in a wide range of finishes, shapes and sizes designed to decorate an endless array of open-air dining and lounge areas.

If left unused for lengthy periods of time, it is recommended that the Desco Outdoor tables be protected with their own covers to keep them in top condition and maintain their original appearance as long as possible.  

All of the components used in the Desco Outdoor tables can be recycled.
