Italian Orione billiard table: the perfect balance of minimalism and tectonics
The Massimiliano Maggio Story: A Revolution in Billiard Design
Massimiliano Maggio was born in Rome, Italy, where he spent most of his life designing professional billiard systems for the family manufacturing business. Having developed a unique perspective on the tectonics of materials, he taught the fundamentals of industrial design for several years at the prestigious LABA university in Florence.
In 2000, Maggio returned to the factory’s family design studio as Creative Director. Under his leadership, an international team completely repositioned the brand, transforming the classic billiard table into a work of kinetic art. His greatest technological breakthrough was the project Pooltable Revolution — a unique table with a concealed lift-top, transforming a game table into a dining or conference table while meeting accessibility standards.

During Massimiliano Maggio’s tenure, the brand has secured its place among the top names in the luxury segment. The manufactory’s hallmark became the iconic table Zigguratcrafted with intricate stepped geometry and maintaining its leading position in commissions for ultra-premium private residences.
In 2018, at the exhibition Salone del Mobile in Milan the triumphant automated version of the table was unveiled Revolution M999, equipped with integrated climate control for the slate playing surface, an automatic height-adjustment lift, a sound system, and concealed LED rail lighting.
How to Properly Furnish a Billiard Room in a Country House
The design of the flooring, walls and lighting in the room is based strictly on the centre of the future table. The structural core of any original Italian table is the playing surface made of natural Italian slate. ArdesiaThe slabs are calibrated to within hundredths of a millimetre, ensuring perfectly smooth ball roll and a weight and structural rigidity unattainable in MDF-based replicas.

Residence Owners’ Testimonials
We purchased the Ziggurat table through Oleg Kuldoshin’s team. The invoice was paid directly to the factory in Rome. Our main concern was the delivery and installation of the three-tonne stone slab. Mebeltour specialists delivered everything in impeccable wooden crating, and the assembly was carried out by certified craftsmen. Perfectly level, with the felt stretched taut as a string.
We designed a comprehensive entertainment area on the basement level of a house in the Moscow region. Thanks to Mebeltour, we were able to order the Silhouette table, bar furniture, and wall panels—all from the same factory and crafted from an identical batch of Canaletto walnut veneer. Exceptional interior synergy and a professional approach to the complex logistics of heavy cargo.
“We hesitated for a long time about the M999 Revolution smart table, but Oleg arranged a direct call with the engineers in Italy, and we agreed on all the custom options for automated lighting and heating. Delivery as consolidated cargo through European hubs was completed without delays. The level of service is outstanding.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What room size is required to install the table?
For a classic 9-foot table (playing surface 270×135 cm), the minimum dimensions of the clear playing area should be at least 6×7 metres. For an 8-foot table (244×122 cm) — from 5.5×6.5 metres. The calculation is based on the length of a standard cue (145–150 cm), required for an unobstructed stroke from any rail.
What determines the cost of a luxury Italian table?
The price of premium factory-made tables starts at €15 000 and may exceed €150 000 for custom automated models. The price reflects the thickness of the Italian Ardesia slate beds, the value of the wood species, hand-finished rails in natural leather and premium cloth (such as Iwan Simonis), as well as the integration of servo drives.
How are the delivery and assembly of such heavy equipment handled?
Mebeltour provides a complete logistics cycle. Heavy frame components and stone slabs are delivered in reinforced wooden crates. Assembly, laser-level alignment of the slabs, joint filling, and final cloth stretching are carried out exclusively by our qualified chief installation specialists.
