The Creator’s Design

High quality, dried and seasoned solid wood: Etrusco manufactures billiard tables with finishes including walnut, cherry, oak, wenge, and various lacquers, and with rectified and calibrated Italian slate playing surfaces.

For over half a century, it has been synonymous with excellence in game, creativity, research, and design. The timber used in the production process comes exclusively from geographic areas where reforestation programs are in place, in compliance with environmental regulations: using only high quality materials together with a unique and detail-orientated assembly system result in exclusive, original, and patented products.

“Billiards manufacturing is a long-standing craftsmanship that has been handed down for centuries, and nowadays being an artisan means passion, willpower, but above all pleasure and, despite fatigue, feeling satisfied”, says Cesare Mosti, owner of the company.

“In this field, a craftsman’s training requires at least 15 years in order to qualify as a Billiards Technician”, he concludes.“ To fish, your mind has to be clear. It’s like billiards. You look at the ball. You concentrate on it, and the trajectory you want to move it along, then, confidently and decisively, you transmit the required force to the cue” (Jean-Claude Izzo).

This determination has always distinguished the Tuscan brand, unique creator of works of art designed to enrich any space, transforming it into a dream. Innate passion immediately dazzles anyone who enters the showroom, and the story is meant to told and examined together with Cesare Mosti, in the following interview.
