TEAK

Teak is a compact hardwood from tropical and subtropical forests in south and south-east Asia. It features a warm yellow to burnished hue enhanced by red nuances, which enliven it and make it soft to the eye. It is the outdoor wood par excellence, a longstanding choice in the nautical industry, confirming its resistance to water and extreme
weather. Due to its ability to withstand temperature fluctuations and humidity, its greatest expression is found when used as solid wood to create refined woodworking details.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Cleaning should be done preferably under cloudy skies or in the shade. Ensure that the furniture is cool before starting. Do not use abrasive sponges, steel brushes, or abrasive/caustic cleansers. Do not use steam cleaners or pressure washers. Always try to remove food residue or spilled drinks, fallen leaves, berries, flowers, and bird droppings as soon as possible to prevent stains and mould.

STORAGE FOR TEAK
Carefully clean items before storing them. Make sure the product is perfectly dry. Store in a dry, unheated, ventilated room, and never use airtight plastic covers.

ENAMMELLED LAVA STONE

Etna lava stone. Surfaces designed by volcanic fire. Compact and resistant to crumbling, lava rock evokes primordial materials and forces. Despite its glassy finish, appreciable features include the unrepeatable mark of the lava, which gives rise to different material properties depending on the ground where it originates, and the human touch expressed during processing. The surface of the stone slab is subjected to a glazing process at 1300°C in a specific oven, bonding the siliconbased components, which endow the tops with special colours — obtained from recycled TV screens and discarded computers, TV and PC monitors — and an unmistakable glassy surface. The process of crushing and grinding the material conveys extraordinary strength and water resistance to the surface.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Cleaning should be done preferably under cloudy skies or in the shade. Ensure that the furniture is cool before starting. Do not use abrasive sponges, steel brushes, or abrasive/caustic cleansers. Do not use steam cleaners or pressure washers. Always try to remove food residue or spilled drinks, fallen leaves, berries, flowers, and bird droppings as soon as possible to prevent stains and mould. Do not place hot objects such as kettles or pans directly on the stone surface, since this could result in stains or changes to the surface that cannot be removed or repaired.

STORAGE: Carefully clean items before storing them. Store in a dry, unheated, ventilated room, and never use airtight plastic covers. Molteni&C offers custom protective covers. Should the table be stored inside, we recommend removing the top from the base and storing it vertically on a soft surface. Always move the top in a vertical position. Carefully clean the table before storing it.

Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
