- Do not immerse in tanks and swimming pools, and do not place at the water’s edge.
- Oil stains and suncare lotions must be immediately cleaned.
- Due to prolonged exposure to direct sun light the surface may become hot to touch. Special attention required.
- The surface of table top is treated by an impregnated product which leaves the material air-permeable but protects it instead from water and grease.
- The product is resistant to UV radiations and abrasion and prevents degradation caused by freezing/thawing.
- To maintain the quality and finish of the surface, it is advisable to use protective articles (e.g. placemats or trivets) under objects that could scratched it.

Maintenance
Cement
- We recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild detergent and water solution.
- Never use alcohol, solvents or abrasive products.
- Only in the presence of marks or solidified stains, we recommend cleaning with a slightly abrasive sponge dampend with a mild detergent and water solution.
- In case of stains caused by liquids and/or oily substances (e.g. lemon, vinegar, coffee, oil, wine), promptly pat and remove the dirt with an absorbent cloth to prevent it from immediately penetrating into the material.
- Then, wipe the entire surface with a cloth dampened with warm water.
- Ultra High Performance Concrete contains non-toxic structural polyethylene fibres, which have been added to the cementitious mixture to provide reinforcement.
- The presence of these fibres on the surface is a typical characteristic of cement, and therefore must never be considered as a defect, but instead, an indication of quality. To limit this phenomenon, pass an abrasive disk (provided on request) over the fibres that appear on the surface of your cement product.
- The particular pattern of the disk captures the fibres and cuts them off at the base.
- Please remember, also, that sometimes crazing can occur on the surface of cement.
- The growth of tiny surface cracks cannot be considered as a defect because cement is naturally inclined to age in this manner.
- Therefore, it would be unrealistic for us to guarantee that this cement product will not form hairline cracks on the surface.

Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their East London studio in 1996, after studying architecture together at the Royal College of Art. Their approach is characterised by its emphasis on experimentation and innovation and an exploratory attitude to materiality and colour.
From these areas of focus emerge solutions that reflect the close relationship of their work with industrial processes and new technologies, but also its affinities with fine art. The strength of Barber and Osgerby’s creative partnership has led to collaborations with some of the world’s most progressive companies and a diversity of output that encompasses architecture, interiors, sculpture, product and exhibition design. Amongst many professional accolades, Barber and Osgerby received the Jerwood prize in 2004 and in 2007 were awarded the status of “Royal Designers for Industry”. In 2013 they were appointed to the Order of the British Empire, for services to the design industry.
Examples of their work are held in the permanent collections of major museums around the world, such as the Design Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, to name a few. In 2001 Barber and Osgerby founded Universal to function in parallel with their primary studio. Focused on the fields of architecture, interiors and exhibition design, Universal is now recognised as one of the world’s most innovative creative design consultancies. In 2012 they launched Map, a strategy-based industrial design consultancy, Map.
