Material Specifications
Hammered glass: this is obtained by working the sheet in a melting furnace (this is why it is also called 'fired glass'). The sheet that has already been moulded is in fact heated and then left to cool: as it cools, the glass 'relaxes', acquiring the particular texture: the effect that results is a wavy surface reminiscent of wrought iron, rich and textured both to the eye and to the touch, which gives a pleasant play of light, shadows and reflections.
Marble: an elegant material, characterised by open veins that can sometimes have resin-based grouting that evens out the surface in the event of slight surface roughness, while at the same time guaranteeing greater structural resistance. Being natural stone with an age that sometimes exceeds one million years, the top cannot be defined as 'perfect': each slab is different from the other with more or less marked veins, depending on the cutting and polishing processes. It may present natural micro imperfections, a characteristic of marble and not attributable to defects. Marble tops are naturally porous: any protective polyester treatment hides this porosity to the touch, leaving all the slab's natural features visible.
Solid wood: is wood from FSC-certified supplies (forests managed correctly and responsibly according to strict environmental, social and economic standards). Only the highest quality 7-layer solid spruce or birch panels with grade A veneer, with zero formaldehyde emissions, are used for the blockboard wood.
All woods are finished with the application of an all-natural, food-grade certified water-based, colourless transparent finish. Glues are limited as much as possible in favour of mechanical joints; if used, vinyl glues are zero formaldehyde, ammonia and APEO emission.
