Is the artwork on the table painted by hand?

Yes, the design is silkscreened and then hand-painted by artisans in the Fornasetti atelier, ensuring each piece has unique characteristics.

What type of wood is used for the table?

The table is cut from lacquered wood, a material chosen for its durability and ability to hold a high-quality finish for the artwork.

How many legs does this coffee table have?

The N.6 coffee table features a distinctive three-table leg construction.

Can I place hot items directly on the table surface?

It is strongly recommended to use coasters for drinks and trivets for hot items to protect the lacquered finish from potential damage.

Is this table suitable for outdoor use?

What are the dimensions of the table?

Specific dimensions would need to be consulted from the product's detailed specifications, as they can vary slightly even within limited editions.

Troubleshooting

Table wobbles after placement

Ensure all three legs are firmly on the floor and that the floor surface is even. If the wobble persists, gently check if the legs are securely attached (refer to specific assembly if provided, though typically it's pre-assembled).

Surface appears dull or smudged

Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately with another soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Minor scratch on the lacquer surface

For very light scratches, a specialized furniture polish for lacquered wood might help minimize their appearance. For deeper scratches, professional restoration may be required.
