Overview
Ayana outdoor table carries the date 2020 and the name of Naoto Fukasawa on B&B Italia's sheet. The maker singles out its oval top in serpentine, a typical stone of the Alps.
Construction
The supporting structure is natural teak (listed as solid wood), which the description says looks light yet is extremely robust, able to resist weather and carry the heavy top. Ferrules are thermoplastic material, and a waterproof cover cloth in PES, PU-coated on a single face, is also listed.
Specifications
The TAY230 drawing prints 2300 x 1100 x 740 mm (axes not labelled on the drawing).
Story
Stone top, teak frame
B&B Italia sets two materials side by side: serpentine for the oval top and natural teak for the frame beneath it.
Weather and weight
The description says the teak structure appears light but resists weather and supports the heavy stone top. The sheet also lists a waterproof cover cloth for the table, and the page title calls the piece an outdoor table.
