Tense Material (Fine Wood) from mdf italia

“A smart beauty, resulting from a thought and a know-how capable of transmitting a deep emotion through a wise accentuation of the peculiarities of the materials used”. Piergiorgio Cazzaniga describes in this way Tense Material, a collection of tables available in 5 heights and 36 sizes, capable of achieving large dimensions, up to 4 meter long, always keeping a perfect top tension.

Tables featuring mono-material finishes. The important technological innovation it incorporates, combined with the tensioning capacity of the components makes it possible to build tabletops in large sizes. The 35mm thick tabletop is a load-bearing composite board built with an internal frame consisting of either aluminium profiles and polystyrene filler, except for the brass top which has an acrylic resin honeycomb filling and two outer layers of aluminium. 35x35mm steel legs with internal structural tie-rod. The reduction of the maximum sizes of the Italian walnut version (up to D120 x L300) represents the technical limits of the materials employed to build the tabletops.

Tense Material FINE WOOD IN NATIONAL WALNUT combines wood durability and resistance with elegance and lightweight, that are typical features of the collection. The smooth surface features warm and intense colours, with endless shades enhancing wood features. Tense Material Fine Wood perfectly fits into classical contexts, but it also stands out in contemporary spaces.

Solid Italian walnut, 2 mm thickness, obtained from sustainable forests and finely sanded into variously sized slats. This type of processing technique enhances the natural characteristics of the wood, granting the material different shades. Any visible design irregularities should be regarded as signs of quality and authenticity. Transparent acrylic finish. The edges and legs are covered in 2 mm-thick cut walnut, processed with a sawed effect (series of irregular cuts of different depths). The natural surface in variously sized slats is characterised by different shades which enhance the natural features of the wood and raw materials.

The table is also available in a version equipped with 1 or 2 openings and an undertop tray. The openings in size 350 or 420 mm are in aluminium matt black painted.
