Description

The new model Rock Table Maxi features a top with an unusual and interesting shape: a rectangle with rounded corners with a physiognomy that fosters a direct relationshipamong those sitting around the table, facilitating interaction and dialogue. The lightened concrete base supports a new, lightweight wooden top in bleached or brown-stained oak and Canaletto walnut, for the indoor version and a top in lightened concrete for the outdoor version. A style that combines radicality and sensuality, softness and boldness, and complements modern home environments as well as lounges, offices, rooms for entertaining or meeting people, where it leaves its own unique, bold mark.Rock Table collectionThe iconic table, with its fluid and elegant silhouette, completely reveals the nature of what it represents: “a round table” that seems to float above a solid, inorganic base.A mixture of natural and industrial materials that are blended to create a new product with a smooth design, following the same philosophy of Flow collection. A refined solid object, light and stable, radical as well as sensual.Rock Table is a collection of tables suited to both home and contract settings, available in different heights, sizes and finishes. FrameThe bases are made of UHPFRC (ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced cement) with cutting-edge technical/ structural properties. Available in natural, anthracite, green, and terracotta coloured cement.A fundamental characteristic of the components is mass colouration. The finish and colour of the table bases is the result of a skilled mixture of sand and natural elements. Together with the slow maturation and drying given to each piece, this allows countless subtle shades to be obtained.The coupling between the base and the joining tube of the table is peculiar and represents a pleasant and technical/visual detail. The components - the joining tube and the flange under the tabletop - are made of aluminium and are powder-coated with matt white, graphite grey orange and green lacquer.The bases in natural cement come with fittings in matt white. The bases in anthracite cement come with fittings in matt graphite grey, terracotta cement bases are fitted with matt orange components, and green cement bases are fitted with matt green components.BasesThe tables are equipped with three types of bases:• narrow (with outer dimension of 34 cm at floor level) with 80 and 100 cm large tabletops;• wide (with outer dimension of 50 cm at floor level) with 120 and 140 cm large tabletops;• double (with outer dimension of 50 cm at floor level) with oval tops of 250 and 300 cm large.• maxi (footprint 72x49 cm) for top measuring 115x240 cm and 105x210 cm.Dimensions and finishes• round top measuring 80/100 cm: matt lacquer,cement and stone chip cement, bleached oak (edge and underside lacquered matt white).
