The ideal dining table: 4 people

Stylish round tabletops with linoleum coating. Exceptional haptics (feel) and two elegant material combinations: MDF tabletop core with Linoleum coating in anthracite or multiplex tabletop core with Linoleum coating in vapour.

Our high quality linoleum tabletop with the bevelled edge has an edge bevel of about 25°. This special edge, which is also called a chamfer, angles down on the underside of the tabletop all the way to the middle. This accords the tabletop an elegant, intricate and less bulky appearance despite its great sturdiness. When used in combination with, e.g., a Y table frame (cross connectors + table legs), this linoleum tabletop looks noticeably thinner from a distance and seems to be almost hovering!

Linoleum – A unique and durable tabletop surfacing material

Linoleum is made from renewable raw materials such as wood, granulated cork, linseed oil and jute. Its homogeneous, matte but nevertheless non-slip surface is perfect for drawing or writing.  The material feels good to the touch, has anti-bacterial and antistatic properties and conducts electricity (its bleeder and contact resistance is between app. 109 and 1010 Ω). Because of these attributes, linoleum covered table tops are perfect for use in the therapeutic and technical realms. On top they make great writing tables but can be used as shelving or kitchen counters as well (short-term heat-resistance up to 70°C ).

A Valchromat or Multiplex core

You can choose a Linoleum coating with a tabletop core made of exquisite fully coloured MDF – so called Valchromat – both in anthracite. The noble alternative is a Linoleum coating in vapour with a classic multiplex core made of birch plywood. The edges of all tabletops are untreated, open-pored, sanded as well as moisture resistant and resilient.

The Y table frame with cross connector and the table frame M with frame rails of one size at each side are the ideal and stable base for both round Linoleum tabletops.

Good to know

Care and cleaning of linoleum is best done with special agents like Harell care and cleaning set for linoleum, which can be found in our product assortment. If you want, the edge can be treated and sealed with Biofarben hard oil or work top oil.

The colour of the linoleum coating that you see at the time of delivery will change slightly with time. The reason for this is the light yellow “drying-oven film” which will eventually disappear after the coating has been out in the daylight for a number of hours.

Comeback is a classic stackable steel-tube chair, millions of which could be found in the DDR under the name “Modell 3101” – it was used for seating in large spaces, in restaurants, casinos, campus dining halls, canteens as well as for private furnishings. In those days, however, the seat and the backrest were made from pressboard covered with imitation leather. For a number of years L&C Stendal have been producing this time-tested model again but this time with technical improvements – all of which have contributed to the model’s “Comeback”. The inelaborate and functional appearance of the Comeback and the fact that it was made by the long-established steel tube manufacturing company L&C Stendal with its tradition of high quality and was being offered at a very attractive price led us to embrace the Comeback in our product line.

The furniture manufacturer L&C Stendal has a long tradition in Germany. In 1889, Louis Arnold, an iron dealer, and his son Carl founded the iron furniture factory L.&C. Arnold in Stendal which, beginning in 1926, specialized in the production of garden furniture and bed frames and developed into the leading steel tube manufacturer in Europe. The foldable garden chair No. 2 was an especially popular best seller, one that even today is considered a true classic among beer garden chairs. In 1927 L.&C. Arnold displayed at the Werkbund (Work Federation) Exhibition “The Domicile” in Stuttgart a “device” designed by Mart Stam and manufactured by Arnold: the first chair without hind legs (cantilever chair). A close relationship developed in those years between Stendal and the designers from the Bauhaus School with the result that many of those designs were produced by Stendal. After 1945, the factory in Stendal was called “VEB STIMA”; it manufactured chairs, tables and beds for the DDR market and for export. After Germany reunited, the company concentrated more and more on the production of Bauhaus furniture classics and expanded that program with the “Stendal Collection” in which re-editions from the 1950´s as well as new designs were manufactured with the same demands for quality and consistent design that had always been its hallmark.

The tubular steel chair, model 118, consists of two steel tube side parts which are bent to the chair center and welded with a single backrest at a junction.The one-piece backrest has a shapely pressed metal tab at the end for double screwing the backrest. The wooden seat is three-dimensionally formed and shaped with ergonomic sitting and leg depressions.
All wooden parts are made of 9-ply beech veneer and are stained in different shades and sealed with environmentally-friendly DD varnish. 

These blanks of wool felt are intended as seat covers, but there is nothing against using them as a placemat in an unusual shape. With a diameter of 33 centimeters, they are a bit larger than a long-playing plate and large enough for a large plate with cutlery. With spray adhesive, they are easy to attach to a wooden base as a seat, for example.

Felt is a natural product, which is why there may be color variations. These do not represent a defect, but result from the uniqueness of the material felt and can not be influenced.

These pads are cut from wool felt and were intended for use on seats but there is nothing that says that they cannot be used as an interestingly shaped place mat set.
