Fade

Features and types

The Fade catalogue available on L'Arcolaio is divided into several categories, each designed for a specific use in the home or at the table.

Plates and trays: ceramics, porcelain and melamine

The Toscana line offers deep ceramic plates of 22.5 cm in the variants Pienza e Cortona: classic shapes, suitable for everyday dining or a home buffet. The Gourmet White e Gourmet Hotel line offers flat, deep and rectangular plates in white porcelain — in sizes from 26 to 35.5 cm — designed for those seeking an orderly and versatile table service. For outdoor use or situations where durability is a priority, the Jaffa plates in melamine (diameters from 35.5 to 44.5 cm) are a practical choice: lightweight, impact-resistant and easy to clean. The trays from the Wall line in porcelain, such as the rectangular tray of 30.5 x 15 cm or the Fade Wall tasting tray of 20.5 cm white, complete the offering for those who love to serve with care.

Glass glasses and stemware

Fade offers several lines of glass stemware, all available in sets of 6 pieces. The Sound (300 ml), Song (300 ml) and Dance (280 ml) series are glasses with a linear shape, suitable for everyday dining. The Swami Arlecchino line instead brings colour to the table: 400 ml glasses and 450 ml stemware in multicoloured glass, perfect for an informal dinner or an aperitif on the terrace. For those wanting a more defined touch of colour, the Corinto stemware and glasses are available in turquoise, amber, blue and pink (300 ml), in sets of 6 pieces.

Crystal table lamps

The Fade line of crystal table lamps covers three models: Panarea (H 57 cm), Ischia (H 63 cm) and Murano (H 67 cm). These are classic lamps, with a worked crystal base, suitable for living rooms and bedrooms seeking an elegant light source without excess.

Vases and decorative objects

The Jaffa Bust Vase in resin of 25 cm, with lemon decoration, is an ornamental piece with Mediterranean character: suitable for an entrance table, a shelf or a summer centrepiece. The Soraya line in porcelain includes the 30 cm cake plate with server — practical and elegant for serving desserts — and the rectangular tray of 32.5 x 15.5 cm.

Side tables and furnishings

The Layla 2 Side Tables Set in silver metal (55 x 73 cm and 42 x 66 cm) completes the Fade offering with essential lounge furniture: metal frame, two nesting sizes, neutral design and compatible with many styles.

How to choose

For everyday dining

If you're looking for plates for daily use, the Toscana line in ceramics (Pienza or Cortona) is a straightforward choice: standard sizes, solid ceramics, deep shape. To complete the service, the Sound o Dance glass stemware of 280-300 ml combine easily.

For a buffet or a serving service

The Gourmet Hotel lines in white porcelain — with flat, deep, rectangular plates and bowls — were created for serving on large tables. The Fade Wall presentation tray of 17 cm is useful for appetisers and finger food to present with order.

For outdoor or informal occasions

The Jaffa plates in melamine resist impacts and are easily washable: ideal for terrace dinners, garden parties or picnics. Pair them with the Swami Arlecchino coloured glasses for a vibrant table.

For a gift or a centrepiece

The Soraya Cake Plate with server in porcelain is a thoughtful gift for those who love to entertain guests. The Jaffa Bust Vase in resin with lemons works as a summer centrepiece or decorative piece in the entrance.

For a light source in the living room or bedroom

The Fade crystal lamps (Panarea, Ischia, Murano) are in the mid-range and adapt to classic styles. Choose the height based on the surface: the 57 cm Panarea is more compact for bedside tables or credenzas, the 67 cm Murano works better for a console table or reading nook.

Are Jaffa melamine plates dishwasher safe?

Melamine in general is not compatible with dishwashing at high temperatures, nor with microwaves. We recommend you check the specific instructions on the product packaging before use.

Is Fade suitable for wedding favours or ceremony gifts?

The Fade catalogue on L'Arcolaio is primarily designed for table setting and home furnishings, not for wedding or christening favours.

How do Fade products combine at the table?

The white porcelain of the Gourmet and Wall lines combines easily with any stemware: the Corinto stemware in turquoise or amber bring colour to a neutral tablecloth, whilst the Sound glasses in clear glass work well in any setting. For a summer table, the Jaffa melamine tray and the vase with lemons create a coherent ensemble on the Mediterranean theme.
