Tabletop Design Features
Surface Texture
- Conceals wear: Hides scratches and fingerprints
- Matte finish: Reduces glare under pendant lighting
- Surface grip: Plates and glassware sit securely
- Visual depth: Irregular texture adds character
Natural Zinc Characteristics
- Material: Natural zinc with no coatings

- Patina: Self-healing surface that evolves over time
- Sanitary: Natural antimicrobial properties
- Heat tolerance: Safe for warm dishware
With daily use, the tabletop develops a deeper, layered patina shaped by cleaning habits, service volume, and exposure to acidic foods. Rather than degrading the surface, this natural aging process enhances its visual depth, allowing the tabletop to reflect the personality and history of the dining space it serves.
Industrial Riveted Edge
Visible rivets run along the perimeter and across the central seam, reinforcing both strength and visual identity. This construction method adds rigidity while introducing a rugged architectural detail inspired by vintage metalwork.
- Edge protection: Guards against chair impact
- Structural integrity: Prevents sheet separation
- Design detail: Emphasizes industrial character
Central Reinforcement Seam
A straight horizontal seam divides the tabletop into two zinc panels and is secured with a continuous line of rivets. Borrowed from historic worktables and industrial cabinetry, this feature increases strength while adding subtle visual structure.
Commercial Durability
- Wear resistance: Hammered texture hides abrasions
- Low maintenance: Clean with mild soap and water
- Even aging: Patina develops uniformly
- Non-reflective: Ideal for moody dining spaces
Acidic substances such as lemon, wine, or vinegar will darken zinc on contact. This reaction is expected and contributes to a richer, more complex patina rather than damaging the metal.
