Discover the magic of Lazy Susan

Lazy Susan
A PERFECT MATCH FOR YOUR DINIG EXPERIENCE

Have you ever wondered how to make your dining experience more enjoyable and interactive?

Look no further!

Round tables and Lazy Susans are the perfect combination to create a convivial atmosphere in any dining setting. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of round tables and the fascinating history of Lazy Susan, as well as some tips on choosing the right size and customizing your table to suit your needs.

THE CHARM OF ROUND TABLES

Round tables offer numerous advantages in dining rooms, especially when it comes to versatility and elegance. Their central base eliminates any obstacles for seating, allowing you to accommodate the same number of diners while appearing lighter and more refined. The absence of angular shapes gives the environment an elegant and sophisticated appearance, encouraging conviviality even in the smallest spaces.

Round tables are also popular at wedding banquets, where they foster interaction among guests, creating an elegant atmosphere, and facilitating the service during the event. Choosing round tables can contribute to making the wedding banquet an unforgettable experience for all participants.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR ROUND TABLE

To choose the correct diameter for a round table, simply multiply 60 cm (the recommended width space for a diner) by the number of people you would like to seat and divide the result by 3.14.

Here are some examples:

Round table diameter for 4 people: at least 77 cm

Round table diameter for 6 people: at least 115 cm

Round table diameter for 8 people: at least 153 cm

Round table diameter for 12 people: at least 230 cm

THE FASCINATIN HISTORY OF LAZY SUSAN

The first known use of the term “Lazy Susan” dates back to the 18th century. it is believed that Thomas Jefferson called the revolving tray “Lazy Susan” after his daughter Susan, who often complained about being served last and not finding enough food. This turning tray, placed in the center of the table, allowed everyone to serve themselves easily.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR LAZY SUSAN

Lazy Susan can be crafted from various materials, including marble, metal, and plastic. They can be customized with decorative inlays, engravings, or refined finishes to match the overall design and aesthetics of the table. Some modern tables even include Lazy Susan with additional functions, such as Bluetooth connectivity to control smart devices or electric functionality for a motorized rotating experience.

Round tables and Lazy Susan are a perfect match for creating a cozy and intimate dining experience. They provide better flow and space utilization in smaller areas, making them ideal for connection and conversation. So, whether you’re hosting a dinner party or planning a wedding banquet, consider incorporating round tables and Lazy Susan into your dining setup for a truly memorable experience.

HOME COUTURE: NEW WAYS TO COMMUNICATE

You never know how far a writer’s hand can go, and that is what happened to us as well.

Among the myriad channels we chose the one to make our own newspaper, a newspaper in the style of Guerra Vanni. A medium that proved to be a challenge, passed with flying colors. With the advent of our brand new contemporary Iconic collection, we wanted to find an alternative but impactful way to introduce it to you.

Knowing…but not as you are used to, in a totally new and out-of-the-box way. This is how Home couture was born. It starts with the desire to tell us and make ourselves known to make people understand what is behind a Guerra Vanni piece of furniture: there are people, experience, passion, smiles, a lot of work and attention to detail…we tell about how we have changed over time but above all what is the secret that has allowed us to grow to this day, starting back in 1963.

Home couture is the result of researching the latest trends in design but also in fashion; after all, you know, fashion has always influenced design…and design has always been influenced by fashion. With this in mind, the idea is to tell and retell ourselves in a whole new key, where we advise you on how to furnish, not only following the latest trends but proposing the best of Made in Italy that only hands of expert craftsmen of Guerra Vanni can give you. Our magazine lends itself to focused yet light reading, where the proposal for a living room is accompanied by an extract on trendy colors, materials and fabrics or even a moodboard that can be customized and made as unique as a tailored suit made just for you.

All of this is blended with light and curious articles to topics other than the world of furniture but with a well-thought-out and well-researched thread. Here comes the idea of making you better acquainted with our world-famous and world-loved peninsula. In each issue you will find insights into Italian and iconic locations to visit, some well-known, some less so. Let’s discover together the most hidden corners that make our nation unique in the world.
Just a little preview, in the first magazine we will tell you about… Vulcano to which we have dedicated our line of coffee tables with warm tones and minimal design that you can find in the new Iconic collection.

What about fashion? Of course, it cannot be missed. With Iconic, in addition to this reminder of Italy, with its lands and seas, there is also a tribute to the real icons of haute couture who have made Italian fashion and Made in Italy famous all over the world. Thus was born the inspiration for the new Gianni, Donatella and Allegra models ..our way of honoring the Versace family and not only.

Refined fabrics and materials, fine woods and finishes that are elegant but certainly stand out, nothing is left to chance.

All this mix then translates into what we make: fashion inspires us in our choice of models to make while our experience turns it into concrete projects. With this premise, we want to make you part of our boast: custom designs; That’s right, not only do we manufacture our products but over the years we have also specialized in being able to find the best solution that can materialize, for example: a sideboard with a marble top rather than a wooden top, or a vetrine with a wallpapered back. In short, endless implementation possibilities shaped to your needs. In our first magazine, for example, we tell you about the making of the elliptical table that furnishes the Libyan Government Meeting Room.

And to conclude ? A journey into the world of custom , our world .

We tell you how a totally customized Guerra Vanni project is born , followed step by step by us and our special staff .

What to say , you just have to read it and be sure to let us know if you liked it!

Bespoke furniture. Personalized service.

Let’s face the truth: the most stunning furniture doesn’t just happen. It is carefully thought, designed and crafted.
And this is exactly the ethos behind Guerra Vanni and the way we work: to offer customers an exclusive level of customization with a personalized approach to creating or modifying furniture that will transform their interiors.
As it happens with everything else, there is always a precise inspiration behind what we do and the bespoke design and manufacturing process that goes in each and every piece.
Guerra Vanni’s aesthetic is nobly influenced by the amazing country where we make by hand all our furniture, Italy, and the great cultural, artistic and artisanal tradition – in both classic and contemporary furniture – we inherited. We think of this aesthetic as sophistication: a beautiful and elegant furniture without necessarily being pretentious.
We like to reflect a genuine connection with our clients and lifestyle: the colors they love, the type of wood and the materials they prefer. It’s only up to us to adapt their preferences perfectly to the style of the furniture we make.
All our products are made in Northern Italy, nearby the beautiful city of Verona. Here we design, craft, frame, decorate, finish all our pieces: this means that when customers ask for something bespoke, we are able to customize every single component of a piece of furniture or to creare a completely new one.
We are pleased to have our furniture featured in many beautiful homes around the world as well as having worked with a good number of leading international interior designers who have selected pieces from our collections and then have asked for customization for their own ccustomers and projects.
Recently we have worked on a custom version of the sideboard from our Clizia Collection for an international interior design studio.

The sideboard was going to be placed as a unique piece within an already designed contemporary style interior, characterized by light shades and marble walls.
The size had to be 240 cm instead of the standard catalogue size of 200 cm.
The customer had a very specific taste as far as the countertop was concerned. He preferred marble in place of wood with a wavy texture recalling the waves at sea. Colors should have been soft, warm and sophisticated.
The marble slab thus provided us with a range of colour nuances that we had to respect.

On the other hand, we should have gone along as well with the nuances of the essence of the natural eucalyptus wood used for the hinged doors.
Confronting with such two stylistic features of the whole piece of furniture, we opted for a laquered finish to enhace the body of the sideboard.
The handles next, made to measure in wood, were finished by hand in bright silver leaf so that they could reflect the overall hues of the piece.

The same silver leaf technique was then used to emphasize the particular design of the sideboard legs.
To customize the Clizia sideboard in a design concept in which the aesthetic needs had already been outlined by the pre-exiting interior, has been very challenging.
The result: an extremely contemporary piece of furniture that reflected the customer’s style.

Almost any aspect of our products can be customized, whether it’s the dimension, structure, comfort, type of wood, fabrics or a more detailed customization like a particular stitching style or the curvature of an armrest.
Our in-house team is able to prepare custom drawings and technical specifications that allow us both to intervene on existing collections and to create something new and unique.
And whether it’s modifying something from our collections or creating something new, well, you must know that we are passionate about designing and manufacturing the best furniture, handmade in line with Italian standards and design expectations. Our furniture pieces are all handcrafted under the direction of our expert consultants and furniture makers, who have decades of experience. One thing is for sure: if something is wrong with a piece, that piece is not coming out of our factory and this gives designers the right confidence when specifying our products.
We want to share our ethos of Italian-made, customizable furniture with the industry professionals. But we would also love people to know the beauty in having a piece that was created specifically for their home.
