Fade

Characteristics and types

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

Plates and trays: ceramics, porcelain and melamine

The Toscana line offers deep ceramic plates 22.5 cm in the variants Pienza e Cortona: classic shape, suitable for everyday dining. The Gourmet White e Gourmet Hotel line offers flat plates, deep plates, pasta bowls and steak plates in white porcelain — in sizes from 26 to 30.5 cm — for those seeking an orderly and versatile service, even for large tables. The Galaxy plate 28 cm in white is another flat porcelain option, sold individually.

For situations where durability is a priority — terrace dinners, buffets, garden parties — the Jaffa plates in melamine (diameter 35.5 cm) are lightweight, impact-resistant and easy to clean. The trays from the Wall line in porcelain (from the 8 cm bowl to the 30 cm tasting plate) complete the offer for those who love to serve appetisers and finger foods with care.

Drinking glasses and wine glasses in glass

Fade offers various lines of drinking glasses in glass, all in sets of 6 pieces. Sound (300 ml), Song (300 ml) and Dance (280 ml) have linear shape and are suitable for everyday dining. The Swami Arlecchino line brings colour to the table with 400 ml drinking glasses and 450 ml wine glasses in multicoloured glass — ideal for casual dinners or terrace aperitifs. The Corinto (300 ml) glasses and wine glasses are available in turquoise, amber, blue and pink, in sets of 6 pieces: a defined chromatic touch on an otherwise neutral table.

Crystal table lamps

The Fade line of crystal table lamps includes 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 a light source with character, without excess.

Vases, decorative objects and small tables

The Jaffa Bust Vase in resin 25 cm with lemon decoration is an ornamental piece with Mediterranean character: it works on an entrance table, a shelf or as a summer centrepiece. The Soraya line in porcelain includes the 30 cm cake plate with server — practical for serving desserts — and the rectangular tray. The 2 Layla Side Tables Set in silver metal (55 × 73 cm and 42 × 66 cm) completes the offer with essential living room furnishings: two nesting sizes, metal frame, neutral design.

The Fade catalogue on L'Arcolaio also includes pieces for the seasons: Christmas items and Easter accessories, for those wanting to find everything in a single assortment. For wider furnishing complements you can also explore the section furnishing complements and decorations, where you find vases, frames and items from other brands.

How to choose

For everyday dining

If you are looking for plates for daily use, the Toscana line in ceramics (Pienza or Cortona) is an unembellished choice: standard sizes, deep shape, solid ceramics. To complete, the Sound o Dance glasses in glass 280–300 ml pair seamlessly with any tablecloth.

For a serving platter or a buffet

The Gourmet Hotel lines in white porcelain — with flat plates, deep plates, rectangular plates and bowls — are designed for important tables or abundant services. Pair them with the 30 cm Wall tray for appetisers and finger foods to present in an orderly manner. Those seeking instead a more refined catalogue of glasses for the table can also look at WD Lifestyle, which includes borosilicate glasses and table accessories.

For outdoors or informal occasions

The Jaffa plates in melamine resist impacts and are easy to clean: ideal for terrace dinners or garden parties. Pair them with the coloured Swami Arlecchino glasses for a lively table. If you want to evaluate an alternative in single-use items for events, take a look at Gold Plast, specialised in tableware for major occasions.

For a gift or a centrepiece

The Soraya Cake Plate with server in porcelain is a concrete gift for those who love to receive guests. The Jaffa Bust Vase in resin with lemons works as a summer centrepiece or decorative piece in the entrance. For those seeking a gift more oriented to home furnishings, the home furnishings section offers chairs, armchairs and vases from other brands.

For a light source in the living room or bedroom

The Fade crystal lamps (Panarea, Ischia, Murano) adapt to classic styles. Choose the height based on the surface: the 57 cm Panarea is more compact for bedside tables or sideboards; the 67 cm Murano lends itself better to a console table or reading corner. For lamps and furnishing complements from other brands with a more contemporary approach, explore the Mopita o Kaleidossection, where you find accessories for the table and living areas.

FAQ

What materials does the Fade brand use for its tableware?

The Fade catalogue on L'Arcolaio uses ceramics (Toscana line), porcelain (Gourmet, Soraya, Wall, Galaxy), melamine (Jaffa) and glass (Corinto, Sound, Song, Dance, Swami Arlecchino).

Are the Jaffa melamine plates dishwasher safe?

Melamine is not compatible with high-temperature dishwasher washing, nor with the microwave. Always check the instructions on the product packaging before use.

How do Fade products pair together at the table?

The white porcelain from the Gourmet and Wall lines pairs with any glass. The Corinto glasses in turquoise or amber bring colour to a neutral tablecloth; the Sound glasses in transparent glass go well in any context.
