GENERAL INFORMATION

Cleaning should preferably be carried out in cloudy weather or in the shade. Check that the furniture has cooled down before starting. Do not use pressure washers or steam sources. Always try to eliminate food residues or spills from drinks, fallen leaves, berries, flowers and bird droppings as soon as possible to prevent stains and mold. Do not place hot objects such as kettles or pots directly on the stone counter, as this could cause stains or surface alterations that cannot be recovered or repaired.

MAINTENANCE

Treat the concrete artifact like a natural stone artifact such as marble. Perform periodic cleaning using a solution of water and neutral detergent. For persistent stains it is possible to use solutions that contain ammonia/ bleach diluted to 10%, i.e. 1 part of bleach in 10 parts of water. Use only soft lint-free cloths, sponges, suede or soft brushes. Avoid rubbing vigorously. Do not use abrasive sponges, corrosive detergents, descalers, bleach (if in solution> 10%), ammonia (if in solution> 10%), vinegar, abrasive pastes. After each cleaning operation, immediately rinse the treated surfaces with clean cold water.

STORAGE

Before storage, carry out a thorough cleaning. Store in a dry, unheated and well-ventilated room and never use non-breathable plastic covers. If you prefer to keep the table inside, we recommend that you remove the top from the base and store it in an upright position on a soft surface.

Foster+Partners is one of the most innovative architectural and integrated design studios in the world. Since its founding in 1967, the studio promoted a sustainable approach to architecture, with a wide variety of projects including urban planning, public infrastructure, airports, civic and cultural buildings, offices and workplaces, private houses and product design. Its architects and engineers combine their knowledge to develop integrated solutions for sustainable design by working together creatively from the project’s beginning. Foster+Partners and Molteni&C deal with each project eclectically through the use of innovative materials and technologies such as the Arc table with its lightweight concrete base, or the Teso coffee table where the production technique was totally reinvented.
