The design is available in multiple realizations in terms of material and lengths. There are also the exclusive versions in natural stone and terrazzo. The natural materials all passed through the handsof our talented Belgian craftsmen. Every element is processed and finished in Flanders to garantuee the quality we’re striving for. The design was created by the need for a simple esthetic with an honest construction. By duplicating all elements, the table has a stabile basis and also a certain finesse. The simple idea to split the elements creates an honest and visible construction that is self-supporting, with a nod to the Japanese design method. Metal details and leg casings stand in contrast with the naturally worked wood and give the whole design more durability. Deep and tactile patines on the metal form a dialogue with the brushed wood and tell a story about its use and its traces through time. Rift is available in various combinations of materials and dimensions. All materials are processed and finished by hand with a lot of care. The tactile finishes of the metal details blend with the wooden or stone bodies. Different finishes of the metal parts are possible. A wax enriches the patine finishes, which results in these parts changing through time. They will age more beautifully and can get darker after time. The wax treatment should be repeated every few months. The varnish finish stops the aging process and ensures that the texture and color stay the same. Therefore, the metal is resistant to external factors and very easy to maintain. Wooden parts follow te same principles. Oil treatments emphasize the natural look of the grains, so traces of use will show more quickly. Treating it with a and matte varnish will make the wood protected, for those great dinners with friends and family. The stone bodies are sawn or honed, depending on your choice. Small yet functional feet supporting the table legs, are optional on the wooden versions. Standard dimensions: 240cm - 320cm - 450cm.
