- 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.

Vincent Van Duysen
Vincent Van Duysen was born in Lokeren, Belgium, in 1962. After earning a degree from the Sint-Lucas School of Architecture, Ghent, he worked with Aldo Cibic in Milan, followed by a collaboration with Jean De Meulder in Antwerp, Belgium. In 1989, he established Vincent Van Duysen Architects. Today, the firm has grown into a team of about 40 collaborators with work ranging from product design for numerous international brands, to commercial and large-scale architectural projects, with a focus on high-end residences.
From the outset, a definite relationship between architecture, interior and product design has been the driving force behind the conception of projects inspired by subtle transitions between these disciplines and combined with a spatial design attitude, constantly striving for the essence. The use of pure and tactile materials translates into clean, timeless design. With respect to context and tradition, it’s an approach within which the senses, and the physical experience of space, textures and light place the integrity of the user at its core. Functionality, durability and comfort are the prime components of the work, an architectural language not shy to convey aesthetics, but prone to eschew fashion and trends.
During his career, Van Duysen has received multiple awards among which the Flemish Culture Prize for Design, the Belgian Designer of the Year, the Henry van de Velde Lifetime Achievement Award, and an EDIDA for Best Interior Designer of the Year. In 2021, his project Winery VV has been nominated and shortlisted for the Mies Van Der Rohe Award.
For many years, Van Duysen’s work has been appearing on a number of prestigious international publications. Starting from 1994, his projects and realizations have also been featured in different monographs among which those edited by the renowned publishing house Thames & Hudson. In 2024, “Vincent Van Duysen: Private” has been published by Rizzoli.
