Roman concrete technology is more than a thousand years old and was used by the Romans to build various structures and aqueducts. What sets Roman concrete apart is its exceptional strength and durability, making it far more resilient than ordinary brick or concrete.

At the same time, the traditional composition of this building material is fairly simple: pozzolana (volcanic ash), lime, and water. We tested various formulas using three to four components, adding sand, brick, clay, and charcoal sourced from different regions of Ukraine: Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, and Kherson region.

The longer Roman concrete pieces dry, the stronger they become, and any cracks that form self-heal.

To make the table, we cast the base in a purpose-built mould; the tabletop surface is stainless steel.
