The first Prototypes
From scratch
We believe that to truly bring a vision to life, you need to dive in and do it yourself—learning directly from the essence of what you're creating to find the best way forward. With that in mind, we put our hands to work and crafted our very first napkins!
OUR VISION
About us
At Tavolare, the table is where life happens. So much so, we made it a verb. A blend of tavolo (table) and chiacchierare (chatting), TAVOLARE is all about gathering. It’s the feeling of setting a table with care, preparing something indulgent, and creating an atmosphere where people feel at home, comforted by the thoughtful details.

THe motto
Fashion Meets Table
We draw inspiration from the world of fashion and costume design, allowing their rich textures and craftsmanship to shape the dining experience. Our tableware embraces this approach, helping you celebrate life’s moments—whether casual or special—with a touch of flair that feels just right.

Subtle intricacies
It's all about the BIAS...
There were many times we thought, maybe it’s too complicated, maybe we should simplify. But with the dedication of our artisans, who pushed alongside us to bring each design to life, we achieved exactly what we envisioned.
With just a little patience
The ups and downs of sourcing
