FINE WOOD | ITALIAN WALNUT
In the Tense fine wood project, the designers aimed at combining the object's essentiality with the beauty of the material � walnut � by using different finishes, thus enabling the wood to express itself at best, enhancing its qualities and beauty, and arousing different emotions in the observer.

Table made in Italian walnut, transparent acrylic finish. Edges and legs covered in 2 mm-thick cut walnut, processed with sawed effect (series of irregular cuts of different depths).

Top covered in 2 mm-thick wood, fine smooth finish with variable slats which give the surface a distinctive array of shades, exalting the natural characteristics of the wood and raw material.

DIAMOND | GLOSSY RED
Tense Diamond was developed according to the ancient technique of Chines lacquer; a process involving the manual drafting of the color and the following application of four layers of appropriately polished transparent resin.
The material stratification process is based on a special mass-colored concrete resin around 3 mm in thickness which is expertly combined with a binder and applied by hand all over the top in a deliberately irregular and non-uniform way.

The subsequent combination of the black patina, rough, dynamic and with lots of shadowy areas, and the surface finish consisting of various layers of polyester, extremely thick, smooth and very glossy, creates an original lens effect notable for its color and depth.

Surface, edges and legs with application of 3 mm-thick material composed of a mass-colored cement base and surface finish in glossy polyester.

WHITE CARRARA MARBLE
Marble, this particular ?nish, reconstructed marble, is made starting with marble dust that has been mixed with a ?ller and is then spread manually over the entire surface of the table.

Top, edges and legs are covered with a sheet of material in a thickness of about 3mm.
Finishes: black ebony and white Carrara marble.
