Pantagruel picnic table

A round and refined picnic table

The Pantagruel Picnic round table can seat eight people. The frame is finished in powder coated or galvanised. Together with the wood of the table and benches, it forms a durable outdoor ensemble. Pantagruel Picnic is also equipped with a Lazy Susan, a rotating tray for easy movement of food and drinks.

About the wood:
Iroko is an African tropical hardwood. The high quality of this wood makes it possible to produce large one-piece segments for table tops. Its colour and characteristics are similar to those of teak. Extremis works with suppliers who have their own timber concessions and supply only the best quality Iroko hardwood. Continuous monitoring throughout the chain of custody guarantees sustainable exploitation. Like all wood, Iroko gradually becomes rough and greyish due to exposure to sun and rain; small cracks and fissures may also appear as part of this development. Extremis strongly recommends treating the furniture annually with a wood preservative. The natural oil protects the wood from moisture and spills, making it more stable over time and keeping stains superficial.

Extremis Hellwood: European ash wood that has been through purgatory to arm it against all kinds of hellish trials. And there are more than enough of them: UV rays, rain and acid rain, fluctuations in humidity, frost, extreme heat, etc. The Extremis preservation process gives the fibres greater internal stability and increases their resistance to decay. This results in a type of wood that belongs to durability class I, just like the best tropical wood.
An interesting side effect of the process is the dark colour of the wood. Like all wood, Hellwood gradually becomes rough and greyish due to exposure to sun and rain; small cracks and fissures can also appear as part of this evolution. Extremis strongly recommends treating furniture annually with a wood preservative solution. The natural oil protects the wood from moisture and spills, making it more stable over time and keeping stains superficial.

* PEFC wood: PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) is an international NGO that promotes the protection and sustainable management of forests around the world. Created in 1999 and present in nearly 50 countries, this certification is the leading source of certified wood in the world.

* HPL (high pressure laminate) is a flat panel based on thermosetting resins homogeneously reinforced with wood fibres. It is manufactured at high pressure and high temperature. Its integrated surface is obtained using pigmented resins hardened by an electron beam. HPL is a very impact resistant material, thanks to its high modulus of elasticity and high tensile and bending strength. Its non-porous surface is very easy to clean (a white HPL table top needs to be cleaned regularly).
