It represents the result of an intensive one-year research and experimentation in mould making techniques. First, a fragile model from paper was made, after that the table cast in one piece in experimental moulds made from plaster. For this piece, Philipp Aduatz developed his own Material, a resin-marble composite, combining the Material advantages of stone and resin polymers. The Material is composed from cast resin filled with a marble powder additive, a waste product from marble industry and developed to be ultra-resilient and tough also over a very long time period. Because it is cast in one continuous Material, it can easily be refurbished by sanding and polishing as often as necessary. These properties together make it a sustainable and exceptionally long-lasting Material. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
