Tools for Togetherness
Extremis and its “Tools for Togetherness” As the Extremis range started to expand, it became clear that the best description for the Extremis products is ‘Tools for Togetherness’, or products that were designed with the aim to improve the time spent together, be it with only 2 people or with a whole group. People who know founder and main designer Wynants just a little bit better, know he simply is not able to make a variation of an already existing theme. Designing stuff that just has to look beautiful does not come up. Wynants once read a baseline in the Swedish Stockholm Design House saying pretty well what Extremis is about. It read something like this: ‘Don’t make something unless it is both necessary and useful, but if it is, don’t hesitate to make it beautiful.’ An example of a translation of togetherness: Kosmos combines two types of togetherness: first a delicious seated lunch with friends and afterwards all can have a little nap together without having to leave their places. They can relax in exactly the same spot where they just enjoyed a meal. If this isn’t togetherness...

The Gargantua table offers superior functionality thanks to its adjustable benches that can be changed in height depending on social or family circumstances. There is a level for adults, for small and tall children, or the bench can be used as an extension of the table top. Seating for 8 – 12 people. Provides ample space for the occasional family reunion or dinner with friends. If one bench is removed, people in wheelchairs can also join the table. Our InUmbra ø 4 m parasol can be fixed directly into the Gargantua frame (see page 22). Gargantua mission Sitting, dining and communicating on an equal level with kids, family, relatives or friends.
Key elements □ private and project applications □ 4 adjustable benches included □ 4 possible positions for each bench □ children sit at same eye level as adults □ people in wheelchairs can join the table

Gargantua benches, adjustable on four different levels The Gargantua offers superior functionality thanks to its adjustable benches that can be changed in height depending on social or family circumstances. Every bench can be put on 4 different levels. There is a corresponding height for every need : Lowest level: for adults. One level up: adults and tall children. Level 3: for small children (<5 years). Top level: as an optional table top extension.
extremis. 10
All benches at lowest level.
One bench serves as an extra table top.
Back rests and cushions are optional.
Attention! The 4 benches at top level do sometimes not form one equal surface with the table top. They merely serve as an extension of the table top on exceptional occasions.
Changing the bench position Every leg of the table has four support brackets, one for every height of the bench. To change the height of a bench, grab the bench with both hands on the frame (see picture) and subsequently hook it in at the desired height between the two tubes of the legs. Make sure the bench is securely fixed and is hanging in a horizontal position. The slight movement you feel when sitting down is the result of the space we need to hook or unhook the benches. If this would be too narrow moving the benches would no longer be possible.
Important With all the benches at top level 12 chairs can be put around the table. However, the benches do not form one closed surface with the round table top. This position is meant for exceptional situations, like family reunions and parties.

position 1: for adults
position 2: for tall children or adults
position 3: for small children
position 4: for table top extension

Gargantua materials
Stainless steel We use different types of stainless steel depending on the application and the type of product. The best quality we use is AISI 316. Contrary to what is often thought, stainless steel can also start rusting if it is not maintained correctly on a regular basis. Also, the level of rusting or not depends on the stainless steel being exposed to for example other rusty metals, salt, rain or any aggressive conditions. However, stainless steel maintenance sprays can be purchased in any hardware store and will guarantee a longer life span of the material.
Galvanised steel Galvanization is the most durable method for protecting metal from rusting. The metal is immersed into a zinc bath which results in a protective layer. If the layer gets damaged the metal under it will start rusting. However any damage can be touched up with some zinc paint available from any DIY store. Galvanized steel has a very long life span and if necessary can perfectly be recycled, thus not burdening the environment.
Iroko The quality of Iroko hardwood allows us to make the table top segments out of one piece of wood. Our suppliers have their own concession and guarantee to deliver only the best quality Iroko hardwood, with a clear chain of custody. As a result, any type of fraud along the way from origin to customer is excluded. An ISO certificate can be presented into which the most important conditions have been integrated on ecologic and socio-economic plan, thus also guaranteeing sustainable entrepreneurship. The color and the characteristics of the wood are similar to teak. extremis. 16

InUmbra is unique because of its pure aesthetics, making every moment a very relaxing experience. No pulleys or opening devices hinder the eye. Easy to open and close: the parasol opens and closes by means of a separate handle. All technical parts that open and close the screen are above InUmbra’s UV resistant fabric and consequently are not visible when seated under the parasol. InUmbra is available for the Gargantua and Arthur tables and as a stand alone parasol fixed directly to the floor or on a concrete base. InUmbra mission Enjoying the shade in a balanced and relaxing environment.

ExTempore The frames are made of aluminium combined with corners and feet in synthetic material (also specially developed). Extremis uses Jatoba wood for the ExTempore range. This brazilian hardwood allows us to manufacture furniture in extraordinary sizes. The combination of materials was dictated by aesthetic, ecological and durability considerations. The same hardwood is also used for the chairs, low chairs and footrests, which are furthermore all stackable.

ExTempore materials
Anodised aluminium Aluminium is one of the most common substances on earth. It is a metal offering an exceptional combination of properties. It is also light and 100% recyclabe. We only use anodized aluminium. Anodizing is a process aimed at thickening the existing aluminium oxide layer by means of electrochemical oxidation through immersion. In our case, we work with aluminium profiles with the thickest layer of protection. We have opted not to submit the aluminium to any further treatment as this does not alter its life span and as this is very harmful to the environment as well. The profiles require little maintenance. Cleaning with luke warm water and a mild detergent once or twice a year is sufficient. Jatoba We chose Jatoba wood for our ExTempore furniture because of its exceptional qualities. First of all, we had to consider the continuous offer and the available lengths of the material. Then, durability and stability were important characteristics. Because we wanted to take into consideration each of these factors, our choice became very restricted. After intensive collaboration with several authorities such as universities and nature and wild life organizations, Jatoba hardwood came out as one of the best qualities. As a result, here also a prime level of sustainability of the end product is guaranteed. Important! Jatoba tends to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bleedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. When the wood is exposed to rain for the first few times, it will give off a blood red dye. The dye is water-soluble and will disappear entirely after a few rain showers. If you wish to get rid of the dye right away, simple hose it away with the garden hose.

Laminam For the Extempore Still table top we used a reinforced ceramic material. A plate consists of three layers, two ceramic layers on the outside, and in the middle a fibre glass layer. Laminam is easy to clean. Liquids, grease stains and marks can generally be removed with a damp cloth and soapy water, or a liquid abrasive cream. Liquids do not penetrate Laminam and remain on the surface. Persistent stains can be removed using a damp cloth and abrasive cream. If stains still persist, use an abrasive sponge instead of a damp cloth.

PicNik materials
Powder coated aluminium Aluminium is one of the most common substances on earth. It is a metal offering an exceptional combination of properties. It is light and extremely ductile and malleable in its pure state. Coated with a layer of aluminium oxide, it is by nature resistant to corrosion. The aluminium used for PicNik is colored by means of powder coating. This is the technique of applying dry paint to a part. The powdered paint is applied on the PicNik by the following technique: the powdered paint is electrostatically charged and manually sprayed onto the PicNik with paintbrushes. PicNik is then placed in an oven and the powder particles melt and coalesce to form a continuous film.
Anodised aluminium Anodizing, or anodising, is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal. Anodic films can also be used for a number of cosmetic effects, either with thick porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add interference effects to reflected light.
High gloss finish The most commonly used painting technique which is also used in the car industry. The result is a multi-layer finish which is less scratch resistant than the powder coated finish. Therefore the high gloss finish is recommended for indoor use.

Arthur materials
High Pressure Laminate High pressure laminate (HPL) is a flat panel based on thermosetting resins, homogeneously reinforced with wood fibres and manufactured under high pressure and at high temperatures. Its integrated decorative surface is based on pigmented resins, cured by electron beams. Therefore it is extremely weather resistant. Sun, acid rain, and moisture do not affect the surface or the core. HPL is also resistant to the UV radiation in sunlight, which means that the colours will not change significantly, even under bad climatic conditions. The modulus of elasticity and high tensile and flexural strenght guarantee HPLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high impact resistance. The closed, nonporous surface ensures that practically no dirt accretes and makes it very easy to clean.

DoNuts materials
Attention! Although DoNuts is an inflatable object, it is not a floating or a life saving device. When used on water, the table can tip over.
Glass fibre enforced polyester The DoNuts table top is made of polyester. Polyester is a material that consists of two or more components: polyester resin and filling components, like glass fibres. A spray technique is used to make the tabletop for DoNuts. Before spraying the polyester, a gel coating is sprayed into the mould. The coating protects the polyester underneath against UV radiation. Clean with a soft cloth and standard detergents as used to clean the kitchen with. Never clean the table with abrasive objects, as the polyester is vulnerable to scratches. Superficial scratches on the table can be repaired with polishing paste, the kind you also use on your car. We also advise you to buff the table afterwards with a high gloss protector.
Nylon The nylon Extremis uses for the DoNuts cover is very strong ballistic nylon, also used in the luggage industry. Ballistic nylon has a superior tensile strength. Especially for DoNuts, tensile strength is very important. Because of the inflated tube inside of the cover, it is put under a lot of pressure. By using ballistic nylon, the cover can resist the tubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressure. The nylon can be cleaned with ordinary soap water. It still is a textile and you should always be careful with sharp objects or floors. extremis. 100

Place the Serpentine wherever you want. Plug your regular garden hose to the end of the stainless steel tube and your shower is ready for use. Serpentine is a garden shower with an attractive and practical design. The added value comes from the light construction which provides very easy mobility in the garden. A major advantage is the plug and spray feature. No longer any problems with pressure pumps or permanent constructions, just plug in the hose, open the tap and have a shower. Because the hose is exposed to the sun, the water inside the hose and the Serpentine heats up and has a nice temperature. Serpentine mission Plug and spray for cool refreshment.

Sticks materials Glass fibre Glass fibre reinforced polyester resin material is made with the so-called pull-trusion technique. Pull-trusion is a non-stopping process of glass fibre wires pulled through a bath of polyester resin that harden in a matrix afterwards to get their final shape. Main advantages of this material are its strength, corrosion-durability and its light weight.
Rubber Natural rubber has the colour of pale skin. The rubber that is used for car tires has a black color, due to black carbon, silica or carbon chalk that are submitted to the rubber mix before vulcanization. Thanks to the recycling of car tires, there is a lot of recycled black rubber on the market. The rubber Extremis uses is not 100% recycled, but we hope to work with pure recycled rubber within a few months. The rubber we use now, is made of recycled rubber powder and new rubber. The carbon chalk can cause black stripes on the floor, but they can easily be removed.
Rubber wood The wood of the rubber tree is very valuable: it has a very nice light color, high stability as a result of the low level of shrinking and is very easy to process. Rubber wood is very popular for making stairs and furniture or basicly everything made out of massive timber.

Qrater is a very attractive campfire dish that can be used in the garden and in open spaces. All you need is to light the wood logs and the result is pure magic. Singing a song or telling a story while looking at the constantly changing play of the flames and the fire sparks is a very special experience that has inspired people ever since fire was discovered. It is a very original and heartwarming form of togetherness that sometimes people even refer to as “the television set of the jungle”. Obviously, options like individual grills, skewers, blankets, and yes, a poncho also form a part of this unique experience of being together around the fire. Qrater mission Bringing people together, allowing them to talk, play music or sing, enjoy nature, even if it is a cold night. The rest is up to your imagination: shall we sing a song, cuddle up and tell a story or have some food?

Weathering steel Weathering steel is a special type of weather-resistant metal with virtually the same characteristics as regular steel. Put outside, weathering steel however reacts to erosion by gradually covering itself with a protective layer of rust, also called platinum layer. As a result, further erosion due to rain or fire is prevented and the weathering steel can safely be left outside. You should be aware of stains: if weathering steel is left outside for a long time, rain combined with rust can cause stains.

Galvanised steel Galvanization is the most durable method for protecting metal from rusting. The metal is immersed into a zinc bath which results in a protective layer. If the layer gets damaged the metal under it will start rusting. However any damage can be touched up with some zinc paint available from any DIY store. Galvanized steel has a very long life span and if necessary can perfectly be recycled, thus not burdening the environment.
Powder coated steel The steel used for WoodStock is colored by means of powder coating. This is the technique of applying dry paint to a part.

Bronco & Corral Corral is a rotation moulded polyethylene table that can gather seven Bronco stools (we also thought of that single person in a company of people). The extra bit is that a number of options, amongst which a lighting unit can be integrated into the table, turning it into a lighting object as well. When applying colour filters with the lamps, the standard white Corral table can be turned into a real colourful eye catching piece of furniture. One Corral gathers 7 Bronco’s.
C’upsidedown It is possible to use our Corral table as a genuine lighting unit when hung upside down from the ceiling. We therefore appropriately name them C’upsidedown. Like with the Corral table, you can apply colour filters with the lamps and transform the standard white C’upsidedown into a very decorative and striking light fixture.

Close your eyes for a while and imagine the mysterious oriental atmosphere of a tea house in the Middle East, where people lounge and hang around on big, soft pillows. A water pipe is being shared, soft words are being spoken, all is said… We played around a bit with the correct spelling of the word beehive, but once you have experienced BeHive no more words are needed. BeHive creates exactly this feeling. Take part in the hive, become the hive, ‘be the hive’, ‘Behive’ (without the risk of stings).
BeHive mission Providing superior seating and lounging comfort for 12-20 people (depends on how good you know each other). Meanwhile also offering the perfect spot to sit and lounge, have a brainstorming session with your team, or receive guests in a very unconventional way. Disadvantage: Those who like to stay long, now even stay longer. Providing breakfast may be needed.
Key elements □ lounging furniture for in- and outdoor use □ hotel and beach resort applications □ brain storming applications □ list of options □ fun²

BeHive The concept is based upon a round fabric which is suspended about 60 cm above the floor. You can choose to either sit, lean or hang against the very comfortable side cushions. The seating surface itself also provides maximum comfort and automatically adapts to the shape of your body thanks to the suspenders that surround and support it. The fabric is also connected to the middle so that the lounging comfort remains the same for all the people seated, independent of the number of people. Finally, the surface also is sufficiently stable to walk to one of the four exits of the hive.

BeHive Boasting a 4-meter diameter, BeHive can provide maximum comfort to everybody inside. Although this exceeds the maximum capacity, BeHive has already been used by more than 20 people at the same time. Warning! No jumping please! www.extremis.eu/behive www.extremis.eu
BeHive Users can also take place at the Corral table in the middle. The hole in the middle of the seating fabric allows a straight seating position. BeHive actually combines many types of seating furniture in one, and needs no extra lighting after sunset. The fabric covered dome transforms BeHive into a hive for like-minded souls. We haven’t yet found a solution to one problem though: if you invite friends over who used to stay late before, you will never get them home now... Anyway: BeHive is yet again a fantastic ‘tool for togetherness’ and has a huge potential to give you wonderful and relaxing nights. And who knows, it might also reconcile opposite cultures.

BeHive materials
Synthetic leather The BeHive synthetic leather upholstery has superior characteristics: with its ‘nanoprofile’ protection it can withstand even the most extreme effects of weathering and stress. This creates a much longer life cycle than conventional synthetic materials. Thanks to the ‘easy to clean’ quality even stubborn stains on the material are a part of the past. The synthetic leather we use also is the type that is used for deck furniture on yachts and motor boats. Hence it is even able to resist the most aggressive burdens like sea water and continuous exposure to sun light.
Airtex High UV resistance and ultra strong. Airtex classic is the perfect product for all camping and sun protection applications. Established for over 20 years the highly developed VALMEX® AIRTEX® classic demonstrates a high degree of quality and durability. Based on carefully selected yarns and a special surface coating VALMEX® AIRTEX® classic meets perfectly the requirements of the usage within the camping and sun protection area.

Low weight and a high tear strength as well as the breathable properties are the outstanding features of the fabric. High water- and UV resistance guarantees an excellent long term appearance.

Kosmos, has a round shape in which you can sit or relax, with the added bonus of a table. The table can be lowered to seat height; at its lowest position, with an extra cushion, it offers a completely flat surface transforming this new product into a giant lounger. So after a delicious lunch with friends you can all have a little nap together without having to leave. You can relax in exactly the same spot where you have just enjoyed your meal. The new parasol is a revolutionary innovation. The parasol opens and closes fully horizontally. Even in its closed position it very much remains in the background. Kosmos mission Sit or lounge in a comfortable and cosy unit.
Key elements □ double function table-bed in one □ revolutionary new concept for parasol □ lighting □ a free standing and complete universe □ togetherness²
