Warnings

Keep for reference: read carefully.

Always remember to be careful not to use the product improperly, considering its designated functions.

When the product is no longer used, do not abandon it, but take it to a suitable public waste collection facility.

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.

Assemble the table only after deciding the position where it will be used.
Moving it will require it to be slightly lifted from the ground by at least two people without oblique rotation of the table top and without using the legs as a lever.
The assembled table must always be handled with the top in a horizontal position.

Considering the product particular aesthetics and the characteristics of the materials that compose it, the top could show a slight bending of about 1% of its length.

The technological difference between wood and other materials is that woods are rich in water. Wood is therefore a hygroscopic material that is subject to water exchange with the external environment, which can cause dimensional variations and shrinkage cracks on a macroscopic level, inside a certain interval of possible humidity levels. The phenomenon of shrinkage in solid wood is inevitable because direct exposure to sun and air causes the wood to dry out naturally. Shrinkage cracks are therefore to be considered a physiological phenomenon and not proof of low quality of the material or of the presence of defects.

This product sheet complies with the legal obligations pursuant to the "Consumer Code" Decree n. 206 dated 6/9/2005 and the "Actuation Regulation" Decree n. 101 dated 8/2/1997.

Maintenance

Cement Grout

The product is made only from the manual application of the cement. Slight differences in tone and in finish are therefore considered to be a virtue of exclusivity of the product itself.
For ordinary cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth using only water. In case of stains, clean the product with water and a neutral foam-free detergent.
Avoid ammonia-based products, abrasives and solvents.

Polyurethane - Polyethylene

We recommend to simply wipe with a wet cloth.
Absolutely do not use abrasive products containing solvents, detergents and/or alcohol.
Dry all surfaces accurately after washing.

Wood - Painting

For weekly maintenance, dust the surface with a dry cloth.
For dried dirt, use a well-squeezed out cloth, damp with warm water.
For greasy or oily dirt, use a damp sponge and dish washing detergent, and then wipe with a well-squeezed out cloth damp with warm water.
Warning! Apply the detergent directly on the damp sponge, and never on directly on the furniture.
Do not exert excessive pressure and always follow the grain on wood furniture.
Note that if you press or rub too hard, surfaces can become 'polished'.
Avoid using abrasives and products containing solvents, ammonia and/or alcohol.
Make sure to dry the surfaces completely after washing.

Marble (polyester)

For normal maintenance, we advise using a microfibre cloth damp with warm water.
In case of stains caused by liquids and/or greasy substances, blot/remove the stain immediately and then wipe the entire surface with a cloth damp with warm water.
Never use solvents or abrasive detergents, and always avoid contact with very hot objects (e.g. flatware, coffee pots, teapots).
To maintain the quality and finish of the surface over time, it is advisable to use protection on the surface (e.g. placemats or trivets) under objects that could scratch it.
Warning! Marbles with polyester can turn yellow if exposed to constant sunlight and/or high temperatures and humidity.

Designer

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.
