The Unopiù Luce dining table Ø 80 cm is a round garden table made of aluminium with a tabletop available in aluminium or porcelain stoneware from the Luce collection. The manufacturer is Unopiù, an Italian company that has been making outdoor furniture since 1978. The diameter is 80 cm, the height 75 cm — a dining table height for four people sitting equally close to one another, because a round top has no head of the table.

The frame is made of aluminium tubular profile, which transitions into the round top at a central base. Aluminium is therefore the first choice for terrace furniture because it retains its shape for years, can be cleaned with a damp cloth and, according to Unopiù, offers high corrosion resistance. What properties common materials have outdoors is explained in our material overview.

The choice remains the tabletop. The aluminium top keeps the garden table at 17.6 kg and makes it a piece of furniture that can be briefly pushed aside when the terrace is used differently. The porcelain stoneware top brings it to 21.6 kg and places a dense, mineral-hard surface on the frame, which neither the sun nor hot pots can harm. Both tops are available in white and graphite grey, as is the frame — at Luce there are no colour restrictions, every combination is possible. The table is delivered in two packages.

Round also means: no corners. In a single pass, on a narrow balcony or between planters, you walk past a round table without bumping into it, and the chairs can be freely distributed around the circumference. Placed freely in the middle of a terrace, the circle looks calmer than any edge — in garden architecture a centre point, in the pool area, on the hotel terrace and in the catering industry an uncomplicated format. In the Luce collection, the square model with 80 × 80 cm stands alongside for all those who want to push the table against a wall, along with chairs and armchairs made of aluminium with hand-woven rope. As a designer garden furniture made of aluminium, the round Luce dining table remains understated enough to let chairs, plants and architecture take precedence.
