Midj has shaped contemporary Italian furniture since 1987, refining each collection from its studio in northeastern Italy. The Clessidra Ceramic / Glass Table — a designer dining table recognized by the German Design Award 2021 — distills that three-decade trajectory into a single, sculptural form handcrafted in Italy.

The silhouette borrows its name and its rhythm from the hourglass: a ceramic base that narrows at its centre before expanding to meet a tempered glass top. Where the ceramic anchors the composition with mass and texture, the glass dissolves weight, letting light pass through and the room breathe around it. The tension between opacity and transparency gives the Clessidra a quiet architectural presence — a table that commands attention without raising its voice.

Two square formats are available — 100×100 cm, scaled for intimate meals of four, and 120×120 cm, which seats four generously or accommodates a more expansive place setting. Both stand at 75 cm height. The square proportions encourage conversation, drawing diners inward, and integrate naturally into open-plan living spaces, compact dining rooms, or as a secondary table in larger entertaining areas. Multiple ceramic finishes and glass options allow the Clessidra to be tailored to warm, cool, or neutral palettes.

Frequently asked questions

Which ceramic and glass finishes are available?
The Clessidra is offered in several ceramic base tones and glass variations to suit different interior schemes. Contact us for the full finish palette and current lead times.

How should the ceramic base and glass top be maintained?
Ceramic resists moisture, heat marks, and surface scratches far more effectively than wood, requiring only a damp cloth. The tempered glass top cleans easily with standard glass cleaner — no sealants or special treatments needed.
