RIFLESSI Dining Tables: Italian Design Tables
The dining table is where a home gathers. At RIFLESSI, it is also where Italian engineering, hand-selected materials, and a near-infinite catalogue of finishes meet. As the direct California importer for RIFLESSI, Tredi Interiors brings these design tables — ceramic, crystal, wood, and natural stone — from Ortona to the Coachella Valley and Silicon Valley, specified to the millimeter and installed by people who understand them.
A RIFLESSI dining table is rarely the loudest object in a room, and that is the point. It is the quiet anchor — the surface a family returns to every evening, the stage a host sets for a long dinner, the line that organizes an open-plan living space. RIFLESSI builds these tables to carry that weight gracefully, with concealed extension mechanisms, tempered surfaces, and bases that look effortless precisely because the engineering behind them is not.
At Tredi Interiors, we have spent decades bringing authentic Made-in-Italy design to California homes, and RIFLESSI sits naturally alongside the kitchen, bath, and living systems we import. If you have already explored our contemporary Italian living and dining collections, you have seen why this brand earns its place: it treats a dining table as a piece of architecture, not a piece of furniture.
This page is a complete guide to the RIFLESSI dining table collection the materials, the signature models, the extension systems, the finishes, and how to choose the right one for your home and have it delivered, in California, without the headaches of importing it yourself.
What Makes a RIFLESSI Table Different
RIFLESSI describes itself not as a furniture company but as a furniture tailor shop, and that framing is honest. Founded in the early 1990s in Ortona, in Italy’s Abruzzo region, the brand built its reputation on a simple idea: the table is the center of the home, so it deserves the same care, customization, and material intelligence usually reserved for high-end cabinetry.
Three qualities separate a RIFLESSI table from the broader market of “modern dining tables.”
Material excellence. RIFLESSI works in ceramic, tempered crystal, wood veneer, natural stone, and Tecnoril — and it works in each of them seriously, not as a marketing list. The ceramic surfaces are high-performance and forgiving of daily life; the crystal is always tempered with rounded corners for safety; the wood is selected veneer worked with genuine craftsmanship.
Engineering you don’t see. The extendable models transform in seconds thanks to concealed mechanisms, with no visible hardware and no compromise to the clean top line. A RIFLESSI table can move from an intimate four-seat console to a three-meter dinner table without ever betraying how it does so.
Customization as standard. Base, top shape, material, finish, and dimension are all yours to specify. This is where the “tailor shop” idea becomes real — and where working with a direct importer like Tredi Interiors matters, because someone has to translate that catalogue of possibilities into the right single table for your room.
This philosophy aligns closely with how we work across every category at Tredi. As both a design studio and a direct importer, we don’t simply sell a product off a floor — we specify it, source it directly from Italy, and stand behind it from drawing to installation.
The Signature Collections
RIFLESSI’s dining catalogue is deep — dozens of models across shapes, materials, and sizes. Rather than list every variant, here are the collections that define the range and that we most often specify for California projects.
Shangai — the flagship
If RIFLESSI has a hero, it is Shangai. The collection spans ceramic, wood, crystal, natural stone, and even a striking Limited Edition version with a transparent or smoked methacrylate base that appears to float. Shangai comes round, rectangular, oval, and shaped, fixed or extendable, in dimensions from a compact ø135 cm round up to a 300 cm rectangle — and it is one of the three models eligible for the extra-large program described below. Ceramic finishes include Calacatta Oro Lucido, Noir Désir, and Bianco Statuario; wood versions arrive in Noce Canaletto and Coke. Shangai is, in many ways, the clearest expression of the brand’s range in a single name.
Living — the modern classic
The Living table is the model most people picture when they think RIFLESSI: a generous, gently barrel-shaped or rectangular top on a refined painted-metal base. It is offered in ceramic, wood, crystal, natural stone, and wood-and-ceramic, fixed or extendable, with rectangular versions running up to 300 cm and an extendable range that opens, for example, from 200 to 280 cm. Living is also part of the extra-large program. For clients furnishing a complete space, Living pairs beautifully with the brand’s sideboards and consoles — explored further in our feature on contemporary RIFLESSI and San Giacomo sideboards.
Manhattan — the extension specialist
When a client needs maximum flexibility, Manhattan is the answer. Built on a painted-aluminum frame in glass or ceramic, it offers the widest matrix of sizes in the collection — extendable versions that open from a modest 80 cm all the way to 300 cm, with depths from 80 to 140 cm. A Manhattan can live as a slim console-scaled table day to day and seat a large dinner party when opened. Ceramic finishes include Noir Désir, Bianco Statuario, and Calacatta.
Enea — sculptural and warm
Enea brings a softer, more organic geometry — round, oval, and barrel-shaped (a botte) tops in ceramic, wood, and glass on a painted-metal base. Round versions start at ø135 cm and rectangular/oval versions reach 300 cm. Enea is the third model, with Shangai and Living, available in the extra-large bookmatched format.
Pegaso, Treble & Paradise — crystal and refinement
For interiors built around lightness, these three deliver. Pegaso is an elegant fixed (and select extendable) design in crystal, ceramic, and wood, including a tall Snack version at 98 cm height. Treble offers fixed round and rectangular tops in glass and ceramic — Calacatta, Bianco Statuario, Noir Désir — on a painted-aluminum frame. Paradise spans ceramic, wood, and glass with shaped and round tops, including transparent, bronzed, and smoked crystal.
How the Extension Mechanisms Work
The genius of an extendable RIFLESSI table is that you never see the genius. The extension systems are concealed within the table’s structure, allowing the surface to transform without visible runners, exposed hardware, or a break in the top’s clean line. A table opens smoothly and locks securely, and when closed it reads as a fixed design — no one would guess it doubles in length.
In RIFLESSI’s notation, F denotes a fixed table and E an extendable one, with the open length shown as a range. A Living extendable listed as W 200/280 measures 200 cm closed and 280 cm open — enough to take a six-seat everyday table to a comfortable ten or twelve for a holiday dinner. The mechanisms are engineered for repeated use, durable under many cycles of expansion and compression, which matters in a piece meant to serve for decades.
This is the kind of detail that rewards in-person experience and expert specification — knowing which models extend, by how much, and how the leaf stores, is exactly the knowledge a direct-import design partner brings to the table, literally.
The Extra-Large Program: Bookmatched Ceramic up to 6 Meters
For grand spaces — the great rooms common in Coachella Valley estates and large Silicon Valley residences — RIFLESSI has introduced an extra-large format that is genuinely remarkable. Available for the Enea, Shangai, and Living models with a ceramic top, it allows for tables built on a double base, with a ceramic surface composed of two bookmatched slabs whose veining runs continuous across the seam, creating a seamless and elegant effect.
These tables run from 3 to 6 meters in length, with depths from 90 to 125 cm, and in the extra-large size they are produced in the fixed version only. A six-meter bookmatched Calacatta or Noir Désir table is not a piece of furniture so much as a centerpiece of architecture — and it is precisely the kind of statement object that benefits from the technical drawings, site coordination, and white-glove installation we provide on every project.
Exterior Finishes
The exterior of your wardrobe sets the tone for the room. San Giacomo’s finish options include:
- Matte lacquer in a spectrum of contemporary colors — from soft grays and warm whites to deep charcoals and rich earth tones
- Gloss lacquer for a luminous, reflective surface that adds depth to smaller rooms
- Natural wood veneers in oak, walnut, and ash — each showing the grain and character of real wood
- Tempered glass panels in clear, frosted, smoked, or bronze for a lighter, more open feel
- Mirror panels that serve double duty as both a design feature and a practical dressing aid
- Mixed compositions that combine two or more materials on the same wardrobe for a truly custom look
If you’d like help working through these choices, that is exactly what our designers do. You can book a complimentary consultation to walk through layout, materials, and the right model for your home.
The Materials: Four Surfaces, Endless Combinations
The single most important decision when choosing a RIFLESSI dining table is the top material. Each surface has a distinct character, performance profile, and aesthetic, and RIFLESSI has refined all of them.
Ceramic — the high-performance choice
Ceramic has become the defining material of the modern Italian dining table, and for good reason. It is heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and UV-stable, which makes it exceptionally well suited to the way Californians actually live — indoor-outdoor flow, strong desert light, busy family kitchens, and the occasional hot pan set down without thinking.
What elevates RIFLESSI ceramic beyond pure practicality is the depth of finish. The surfaces convincingly reproduce the world’s great stones, and the names are preserved exactly as RIFLESSI specifies them: Calacatta, Calacatta Oro Lucido, Bianco Statuario, Noir Désir, Noisette, Sodalite, and Verde Borgogna, among others. These are not generic “marble-look” laminates — they are matched veining and tone, delivering the visual richness of natural stone with the resilience of high-fired ceramic.
Crystal — pure, resistant, and light
For interiors that want to feel open and uncluttered, RIFLESSI’s tempered crystal tops are unmatched. The brand has made a deliberate choice to use only tempered glass with rounded corners, prioritizing the safety of the people living with the table. Available transparent, smoked (fumé), or bronzed, crystal lets the base become the sculptural focus — ideal for the elegant, fixed-design tables in the Pegaso, Treble, and Paradise families, or the extendable glass Manhattan and Plano.
Wood — handcrafted warmth
RIFLESSI has always selected quality veneers and worked them with craftsmanship, and its wood tables bring tactile warmth to a collection that could otherwise read as purely architectural. Noce Canaletto (American/Canaletto walnut) is the signature, often with a beveled (bisellato) edge, alongside finishes such as Coke and Rovere tinto noce. Wood appears across Atlante, Pegaso, Living, Shangai, Tower, and Sabino, sometimes paired with ceramic in striking wood-and-ceramic combinations.
Natural stone and Tecnoril — for the purist and the technician
For clients who want the real thing, RIFLESSI offers genuine natural-stone tops, seen in marble versions of Shangai and Living. And for a more technical, seamless aesthetic, the Unico table is rendered in Tecnoril, a solid-surface material that allows for a monolithic, almost cast appearance.
If you are weighing the broader question of finishes and materials across an entire home, our overview of European cabinet finishes and materials is a useful companion — the same logic of matching surface to lifestyle applies whether you are specifying a kitchen or a dining table.
Tower & Sabino — character and presence
Tower combines painted metal with wooden-covered metal detailing across ceramic and wood tops, round, square, and shaped, up to 300 cm. Sabino brings a distinctive diamond-bent central column and arrives in ceramic, wood, and round/square formats, with ceramic finishes including the unusual and beautiful Sodalite and Verde Borgogna.
Atlante & Atlantis — the wood and ceramic essentials
Atlante is RIFLESSI’s rigorous, architectural wood table, extendable up to three meters and offered in American walnut. Atlantis is its ceramic rectangular counterpart, with painted-metal legs and an extension range reaching 320 cm.
Beyond these, the collection includes Onda, Cross, Cubric, Glide, Mito, Plano, Bistrot, and the Tecnoril Unico — each with its own personality, and each available to specify through Tredi. Seeing them in context is always worth the trip; our living room and dining galleries show how these pieces compose a complete room.
Finishes: A Catalogue Built for Personalization
A RIFLESSI table is defined as much by its finish as its form. Because the brand operates as a tailor shop, the finish options are extensive, and we preserve the exact names so what you see is what is produced. Among the most requested:
- Ceramic stones: Calacatta, Calacatta Oro Lucido, Bianco Statuario, Noir Désir, Noisette, Sodalite, Verde Borgogna
- Crystal: transparent, smoked (fumé), bronzed, extra-clear (extrachiaro)
- Wood: Noce Canaletto (walnut), Coke, Rovere tinto noce, often with a beveled (bisellato) edge
- Metal bases: painted metal, painted aluminum, wooden-covered metal, mirror-effect and steel-covered options on select models
The interplay between base and top is where personalization becomes design. A pale Calacatta ceramic on a slim black painted-metal base reads crisp and contemporary; a Noce Canaletto wood top on the same base feels warm and grounded; a Noir Désir ceramic on a floating methacrylate Shangai base feels almost weightless. This is the conversation worth having in a showroom.
Innovation: Ceramic Tables With Integrated Induction
RIFLESSI continues to push the boundary between dining furniture and living technology. Among its most forward-looking developments are ceramic tables with an integrated induction cooktop built directly into the surface — blurring the line between the table you cook at and the table you dine at. Paired with the brand’s commitment to sustainable materials, eco-friendly aluminum, and water-based finishes, it reflects a philosophy we share at Tredi: design should be beautiful, but it should also be intelligent and responsible. It is the same thinking we track across the industry in our look at modern Italian kitchen and design trends for 2026.
How to Choose the Right RIFLESSI Dining Table
With this much choice, a little structure helps. Here is how we guide clients through the decision.
Start with the room, not the table. Measure your space and allow roughly 90–120 cm of clearance around the table for dining chairs and circulation. A 200 cm table needs a room of meaningful size to breathe; in a tighter footprint, an extendable model that lives at 160 cm and opens to 240 cm is often the smarter choice.
Match the material to your life. If the table anchors a busy family kitchen or an indoor-outdoor space under strong desert light, ceramic is the resilient, low-maintenance answer. If you want lightness and sculptural drama, crystal. If you want warmth and a sense of the handmade, wood. If you want the real thing and will care for it, natural stone.
Decide fixed or extendable honestly. If you host large gatherings only occasionally, an extendable model gives you everyday intimacy and special-occasion capacity. If your table is always set for a crowd, a fixed — or extra-large — design will feel more generous and substantial.
Choose the shape for the space. Rectangular tables suit longer rooms and larger groups; round and square tables encourage conversation and fit square rooms beautifully; oval and shaped tops soften a space and ease circulation.
Then, and only then, choose the finish. The finish is the emotional decision — and the one best made in person, with samples, in the light of your own region.

Why Buy Your RIFLESSI Table From Tredi Interiors
Anyone can admire a RIFLESSI table in a magazine. The difference is in how it reaches your home — and that is where our model matters.
Tredi Interiors is the direct California importer, part of the Mobili Tredi group founded in 1969. We do not buy through a distributor and mark it up; we source directly from Italy. That structure gives you three concrete advantages.
Finish and specification accuracy. Because we work directly with the factory, the finish you select is the finish that is produced. Exact ceramic names, exact wood veneers, exact dimensions — preserved, not approximated.
Full collection access. Showroom floors show a fraction of what RIFLESSI makes. As a direct importer, we can specify any model, shape, material, and size in the catalogue, including the tailor-made and extra-large programs — not just what happens to be in stock.
End-to-end accountability. From the first drawing to the final installation, one team owns your project. We produce technical drawings, coordinate logistics and customs, manage the roughly three-and-a-half-month production-and-shipping timeline from Italy, and install with specialists who understand Italian furniture systems. There is no hand-off, no finger-pointing, no “that’s the supplier’s problem.” It is the same turnkey discipline we bring to every part of your complete Italian design journey.
For architects, designers, and developers, we operate as a trade partner with the technical depth such projects demand the same way we support our kitchen, bath, and closet trade work across California.
