During the ideation and prototyping of Tedesco~Rosa, our goal was to create luxury dining furniture at affordable prices. The quality features radiate from using solid walnut that is sustainable, partnering with a local carpenter to support our regional economy, and incorporating modern design features.
We achieve affordability by reducing operation costs – such as flat packing – and incorporating self-assembly into the design.
We concentrated on 5 key quality features
ONE: Solid Walnut Materials — We source our walnut from sustainable farms in the Kentucky region. Solid walnut furniture is revered for its strength and durability, and admired for its rich, dark color. Additionally, walnut wood is dense, absorbs shock well and resists decay.
TWO: Handcrafted — To ensure the highest quality finish, we skillfully handcraft our products. The walnut is hand-selected for wood grain and distinct sap markings. We also hand-sand the pieces to further reveal the exquisite wood grains.
THREE: Steam Bending — Steam bending is a traditional process steeped in history. It was once a vital practice, paramount to the production of weapons, tools and water vessels. Steam bending enables wood to be manipulated into a wide array of remarkable and interesting shapes. We steam bend thin layers of walnut to produce the chair legs – balancing function and style.
FOUR: Carbon Steel — We use carbon steel for its strength and pliability. It has a modern finish and is more sturdy compared to other metals — having a higher tensile strength than stainless steel. Also, carbon steel is sustainable and easy to recycle and reuse.
FIVE: Powder Coat Finish — The powder coat finish on the carbon steel increases durability, creates a polished finish, and gives customers a luxurious range of color choices. Powder coating is applied electrostatically. Then it is cured under heat to create a hard finish, tougher than conventional paint.
Our concept for Tedesco~Rosa began as we experienced many high priced and low quality products on the market. We were shopping for our own home and were surprised by the lack of quality from high-end retailers. Have you been duped by big box retailers?

We are very proud of our luxury dining furniture and accessories. We are excited to see them in your home.
