Tense Material Stone combines the signature lightness of the Tense collection with the authentic character of a reconstructed stone finish. The manual application of a mineral blend of marble and quartz across the entire surface adds exclusivity to the tables designed by Piergiorgio and Michele Cazzaniga. Their minimalist design and elegant silhouette make them suitable for any setting and style, from classic to modern and contemporary.
The natural variations in the stone finish, created by blending different minerals, make each table truly unique and highlight its high-quality craftsmanship. At the same time, the smooth and soft texture provides a pleasant tactile experience.
With a wide range of sizes and the option to customise the table by adding up to two top-access units and an under-surface cable tray, Tense Material Stone is ideal for a variety of uses, including work activities, easily transforming into a desk or workstation when needed.
Frame
Steel legs with a 35x35 mm section and internal structural tie-rod. The 35 mm thick tabletop is a load-bearing composite board built with an internal frame consisting of either aluminium profile and polystyrene filler.
Reconstructed stone
Textured finish obtained from a blend of mineral powders that have been micronised and mixed with liquid acrylic and water-based products, giving it a material essence. The finishes are applied manually with a palette knife over the entire surface of the table, followed by a maturation process at room temperature. The material is subsequently protected with a water-based nanotechnological finish that makes the table sturdy and easy to clean. Top, edges and legs covered with the application of a thickness of about 1.5 mm of material.
Reconstructed stone note: visual irregularities, nuances, a lack of uniformity of both surface and material colour are deemed traits of value and uniqueness.
Finish in Coccioperla white X202, cream X203, dove grey X204 and black X205 on request.
Top-access
The tables are also available in the version equipped with 1 or 2 top-access and under top cable try. The top-access is available in three versions: single lead with soft closing, double lead or optional, the single lead with soft closing, with inlay in the same finish of the table.
The metal cable trays are telescopic (H7/H10 cm), to host various wiring systems.
