Last day of summer in Portugal...

Bring you GEM inside. It's time to protect it from the incoming cold!

Take it outside...

The Gem table is made of DuPont's Montelli, making it weatherproof. It brings me back to my childhood, when I could take my beloved belongings outdoors. luckily I don't have to stop it now.

Look mom, NO SEAMS!




Designed by Filipe Alarcão, Portugal´s renowned product designer, the Gem table is made with DuPont´s monteli. A new material very similar to Corian. The Montelli however absorbs the bonding of specific glue differently, making it impossible to view the pieces connecting. The end result is a piece that looks like it´s been dilapidated from a single stone. The Montelli material also allows you to use the Gem table indoors and outdoors.
