At Tedesco~Rosa, every detail matters — from the hand-selected hardwoods to the hand-welded steel bases that support our dining tables, benches, and accent pieces. One of the final and most important steps in our furniture-making process is powder coating the metal components.
Powder coating adds both beauty and strength. The process takes place just a few miles from our studio at Louisville Dynamic, one of our trusted artisan partners
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a high-performance finishing technique that involves applying a dry powder to metal surfaces electrostatically, then curing it under heat. The result is a smooth, hard finish that’s tougher than traditional paint, resistant to chipping and scratching, and better suited for everyday use.
This process not only protects the steel base of our furniture but also enhances its appearance with a refined, polished look. It’s the perfect marriage of form and function. An industrial technique made artisanal by our small-batch, handcrafted approach.
Benefits of Powder Coated Furniture
Powder coating adds lasting value in three key ways:
-
-
Durability: The cured finish resists corrosion, moisture, and wear. It is ideal for dining furniture that’s made to be used and admired for generations.
-
Aesthetic Versatility: From subtle neutrals to bold, statement-making tones, powder coating opens up a world of design options.
-
Eco-Conscious Quality: Unlike liquid paint, powder coating contains no solvents and releases little to no VOCs, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
-
Our Signature Colors
We offer three standard powder coat finishes that pair beautifully with our white oak (Florence) and walnut (Modena) collections:
-
-
Earth Brown – A deep, rich neutral with warmth and depth
-
Jet Black – Sleek and classic, it adds bold contrast
-
Pure White – Crisp, clean, and modern
-
For designers and clients looking to personalize their pieces even further, custom powder coat colors and textures are available for an additional fee.
We offer access to hundreds of curated shades through the RAL color system. From matte metallics to gloss finishes you have the flexibility to match any design vision.
