Venice Coffee Table

Design

The Venice Coffee Table by Talenti carries a quiet confidence. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, it distills the spirit of the lagoon into a low, square silhouette that feels calm in any setting. The proportions are deliberate: broad, grounded, and free of ornament. Nothing competes with its shape. It anchors a space without shouting, which is exactly the point.

At roughly 47.2 by 47.2 inches, the square profile creates a generous stage for conversation and the pieces that live around it. The height sits at about 11 inches, keeping the line of sight low and the mood relaxed. It’s the kind of table that makes a lounge area look finished the moment it arrives.

Materials & Build

The top is grey lava stone with a ceramic-like finish—sleek, durable, and beautifully consistent under light. It’s made to be used, not tiptoed around. Subtle sheen, even texture, reliable strength. Beneath, a wood frame in a natural teak color supports the slab with discreet solidity. The components work together visually as well as structurally: cool stone, warm wood, one considered composition.

Built for real life indoors and out, the materials are selected for resilience and steady performance. The lava stone is treated to handle the elements, and the frame construction keeps everything stable day to day. No fuss. Just the right choices, executed cleanly.

Comfort in Use

Comfort isn’t only about cushions. Here it shows up in reach, height, and surface feel. At lounge level, the table keeps essentials easy to access without crowding seating. Trays slide smoothly across the top; a book lays flat and stays put. And the square format makes sharing natural—every seat gets equal access, so conversations flow.

The finish is pleasantly smooth to the touch, which matters more than one might think. It invites everyday use, from morning coffee to late-night glasses, without the nervousness that glossy showpieces can bring. That balance—refined yet approachable—defines the experience.

Placement & Lifestyle

This piece is comfortable anywhere. It settles into contemporary rooms with ease, and it doesn’t feel out of place in more traditional spaces either. Outside, it pairs well with modular seating and low loungers, creating a grounded hub for gatherings. Inside, it suits open-plan living, where a simple, substantial table helps organize the room.

Scale is friendly to both spacious terraces and compact city balconies. The square footprint is efficient, and the visual weight keeps the area feeling composed rather than cluttered. Use it as a central stage or to complete a quieter corner—either way, it holds the scene together.

Longevity

Good materials pay dividends over time. The treated lava stone top stands up to weather shifts, and the wood frame keeps the structure steady. At roughly 75 pounds, the table feels reassuring outdoors, resisting casual movement from wind or everyday handling. A cover is available for added protection when seasons change.

What remains, season after season, is the ease of living with it. The Venice Coffee Table delivers presence without pretense, and durability without heaviness. That’s the Talenti approach—make the essential things well, and they’ll look right today and years from now.
