The dark color comes from black iron oxide. Our dark concrete tops are thus stained. The color may be reminiscent of a deep grey anthracite, but black grey is the broadest and most striking color reference.
We recommend that you leave the table in its original packaging at room temperature for 24 hours after receiving the table. This is to acclimate.
Concrete is a building material that contains natural elements, such as calcium, gravel and water. Even if you treat your table as recommended we cannot guarantee that it is 100% repellent to acid, coffee, red wine, fat etc. Your tabletop is pre-treated with a liquid and silicone-free wax from production.
If you want a raw and more variegated tabletop, we recommend using the table without further treatment. We think that concrete should be allowed to live its life and receive the “tooth of time”, like a leather chair or a piece of oak, which just gets more beautiful over time.
If you want a more well-protected top against everyday dirt, we recommend that you regularly treat the table.
Maintenance tips:
- Wipe with a clean, damp cloth. We recommend cleaning without detergent.
- We recommend that you regularly treat the table with the same liquid wax that we have given the table from its birth. You can buy the wax here. The wax will give the table a fine sheen and ensure that the table patinas with grace.
- Avoid placing hot or moist objects directly on the table top.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the furniture the first 4 weeks.
