Tense Curve

Single-material finish:- Matt white, acrylic resin and rock mineral.‎ Top, edges and legs covered with 3 mm thick solid wood.‎Single-material finishes:- Wood, in natural oak, transparent acrylic finish.‎ Top, edges and legs covered with 3 mm thick solid wood;- Stone, in reconstructed stone, transparent acrylic finish.‎ Top, edges and legs covered with a 3 mm thick material application;- Charcoal, in solid natural oak (oak), with surface acid treatment, obtained through the use of natural acids, without the addition of chemical additives.‎ This innovative process, inspired by the alchemists of the past, allows the organic properties of the wood to be altered.‎Through the reaction of the tannins contained in the wood, a natural 'burn' is generated that gives the surface a charred effect, making it unique.‎ The original susceptibility of the wood takes on a warm, intense black hue and nuance in contact with the natural acid, rich in natural, non-uniform and unique gradations.‎The natural surface is enhanced by the special finish: matt and stretched, but rough and lived-in, a true experience for the user, not only visually but also tactile.‎ in natural oak, charred black, surface finish in transparent acrylic.‎ Top, edges and legs covered with the application of material in a thickness of approx.‎ 3 mm.‎- Marble: this particular finish is made of reconstructed marble starting from marble powder which, skilfully mixed with a binder, is spread manually over the entire surface of the table.‎Top, edges and legs covered with the application of material in a thickness of approx.‎ 3 mm.‎ Finishes: black Ebano marble and white Carrara marble.‎- Diamond (glossy red): innovative processing and layering of materials, the end result of which enhances the surface, preciousness and depth of colour.‎ The layering of materials has as its starting point a special mass-coloured cement resin, about 3 mm thick, skilfully mixed with a binder and spread by hand over the entire surface in an irregular and deliberately non-uniform manner.‎The subsequent combination of black patina, rough, animated and rich in shadows, and the multi-coat, thick, smooth and extremely shiny polyester surface finish generate an original lens effect that enhances colour and depth.‎ Top, edges and legs with material application, thickness 3 mm consisting of mass-coloured cement base and glossy polyester surface finish.‎Tense Curve is result of the challenge to shape the tabletop to better suit the relationship between the people around a table.‎ For the new shape the designers were inspired by the Lamé curves, here the name “curve”.‎Tense Curve is an icon of the MDF Italia collection, a project which develops and evolves in terms of its own tensity.‎Tense Curve is available in 1 height, H73 cm, and 6 sizes.‎Frame and tops35x35 mm steel legs with internal structural tie-rod.‎ The 35 mm thick tabletop is a load-bearing composite board built with an internal frame consisting of either aluminium profiles and polystyrene filler.‎ The important technological innovation it incorporates, combined with the tensioning capacity of the components makes it possible to build tabletops in large sizes which remain perfectly flat and also extremely light.‎Monochromatic versionmatt white, made of acrylic resin and rock minerals.‎ Tabletop, edges and legs covered with a 3 mm thick sheet of resin.‎Mono-material versionNatural oak wood, with transparent acrylic finish.‎ Top, edges and legs coated by 3 mm thick solid wood.‎Carbone, created in solid natural oak wood, thickness 3 mm, subjected to surface acid etching treatment applied by using natural acids without chemical additives.‎This innovative process inspired by alchemists of the past allows to alter the organic properties of wood.‎ The reaction of tannins contained in wood generates natural “burning” that endows the surface with a unique carbonised effect.‎ Contact with the natural acid enhances sensitive wood with the shade and colours of warm intense black, rich in natural gradations that are not uniform but unique.‎ The natural surface features a special extensive matt finish that is rough and worn, a genuine visual and tactile experience for the user.‎ Top, edges and legs covered with a sheet of material in a thickness of about 3 mm.‎ Reconstructed stone is obtained from a blend of mineral powders that have been micronized 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, creating a one-of-a-kind texture that characterises each and every product, both to the eye and to the touch.‎After application, a maturation process at room temperature is required; 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.‎
