When the interstate system in America was new, “hitting the road” was an exciting affair and the picnic area along some expanse of unexplored territory was every kid’s dream. Our Ponte Drinks Table could have been born during that era when industrial designers like Raymond Loewy were inventing everything from buxom buses to outdoor furniture. The mix of natural and polished concrete give this straightforward design an extra dose of personality. Hairline cracks occur and are part of the natural beauty and uniqueness of each piece. These are part of the natural curing process of concrete, but they do not affect durability or structural integrity because of the steel frame underneath. The finish will vary and range from gray to brownish to greenish. The finish will continue to change over time, and over the first few months it will darken slightly. Each piece is created by hand, and the texture and appearance of the concrete can vary.
