The Tommaso Bench has intentionally not been painted because it is the surface irregularity that makes it so special. The daily use will form stains forming a patina which renders the surface even more beautiful. When delivered the surface will have undergone a final treatment with beeswax. Please clean it first with a dry rag in order to remove traces of oxidation and wax. To clean it use a non-aggressive/soft detergent as it would be wood. Twice a year, we suggest impregnating the surface with beeswax, removing it after one night as described above. Available as alternative epoxy painted version, copper black colour, sand-touch.
