IMPORTANT INFORMATION
REGARDING VIPP496 SQUARE TABLE
At Vipp, variants of limestone are a recurring material choice in our furniture designs. The visual expression of the stone tells the tale of millions of years of natural processing. Each piece of stone harbour impressions left by fossils and other organic matter, making each stone unique with a wide range of shades and veining
Carved from the Luget quarry in Pranzac, France the limestone used for the Vipp496 Cabin square table is exclusively made for Vipp’s dining table category. It takes weeks of work and expertise to carve the stone in the right format and structure to maintain the strength of the stone which is needed for a dining table.
Veins, fossils, and colour shades are the result of peculiar geological conditions and guarantee that no stones are identical, and that no tabletop looks the same.

Luget quarry in Pranzac, France
Luget limestone is rich in fossils, glass veins, crystals, and sand holes. After mechanical treatment some crystals and sand holes might appear on the edge of the tabletop which we chose not to fill with resin (epoxy) but keep as part of the product’s natural and unique expression.
For efficient use of the stone and with respect for natural resources, Vipp allows the use of resin to close some of the natural cracks and larger holes in the tabletops.
In general, tabletops made of limestone is characterized by a rustic appearance that spans in hues from warm, golden tones to cold, grey tones. Glass veins can appear as cracks but are simply a natural characteristic of the stone.
The tabletop of the Vipp496 Cabin square table is bush hammered leaving a vivid and rugged surface texture. As a final treatment, the tabletop is treated with a stone sealer to give it a slight resistance to daily wear and tear.
