Places with personality, where I didn't even feel like leaving the room," he says. Here, personality emerges in elements designed by the architect himself, such as the bar shelf and headboard. "It's a suite with simple solutions, without neglecting sophistication," he adds.

Granite is a natural stone widely used in architecture and interior design for its resistance, durability, and sophisticated aesthetics. When applied in the manufacture of tables, it becomes a versatile element that combines functionality and elegance. Granite tables can be used in different rooms of the house, from the kitchen to the outdoor area, adding value and style to the projects.

In this atmosphere, works by painters such as Antonio Peticov, Claudio Tozzi, and Luiz Aquila are present alongside period designs, such as Biedermeier period furniture and Louis XV armchairs. It is worth mentioning: the dining table with 10 seats features Brazilian granite next to the black piano, which completes the décor.

How to care for granite?


Despite its resistance, granite requires some care to maintain its beauty and durability over the years. Here are some essential tips:
  1. Daily cleaning: Use a damp cloth with neutral detergent to remove dust and dirt.
  2. Avoid abrasive products: Do not use steel wool, alcohol, or acidic products, as they can damage the natural shine of the stone.
  3. Waterproofing: To avoid stains, it is recommended to apply specific sealants for granite every six months.
  4. Protection against heat and moisture: Despite its resistance, it is advisable to use hot pot holders and avoid prolonged accumulation of liquids.

Kitchen and Dining Room


Granite tables for the kitchen and dining room are ideal due to their resistance to scratches and stains. The size may vary according to the available space, but models with tops 2 cm to 3 cm thick are the most common. For larger spaces, granite tables with up to 6 seats are an excellent choice.

Living Room


Granite center and side tables bring sophistication to the project. The ideal size for a center table varies between 80 cm and 120 cm in diameter for round models, or between 100 cm and 140 cm for rectangular tables.

Bathroom


Smaller granite tables can be used for supporting decorative items or as a support for sculpted sinks made from the same material, creating an elegant and modern look.

Outdoor Area


Granite tables for balconies and gardens should have a thickness of more than 3 cm to ensure resistance against impacts and weather variations. Models with bases made of iron or treated wood are great options.
