The broad slats of the Piav Alu dining tabletop are designed to send a statement of strength and durability, while its rustic finished teak tabletop further accentuates its robust accent. As the timber ages and greys, it provides a natural and organic finish to the otherwise manufactured look of its powder-coated aluminium frame.
For load-bearing structures, it is often necessary to reinforce the aluminium bar. Also known as hardened aluminium, this process involves inserting a steel rod or solid timber into the hollow aluminium bar to strengthen the component. This not only allows the piece to carry more weight, but it also limits the welded component from flexing, which undermines its durability.
Rich in Natural Oil
A-Grade Teak refers to the most mature part of the tree, found at the centre of the teak log. It is dense and rich in natural oil, which protects the timber from splintering and remains smooth even after years.
