Circularity that fits what you already have
Instead table tops bring a circular, 100% recycled material into a space that is already fitted out, ideal for a responsible refit. Cicero in a square version (60 / 70 / 80) or round (Ø 60 / Ø 70 / Ø 80), Amarillo in square (60 / 70 / 80). Compatible with standard fixing systems.
Material and manufacturing
The table tops are shaped from Balt®, an eco-material made of brewers' spent grain and recycled bio-based food packaging. 16 mm thick. Chamfered edge on the Cicero. Bespoke available: sizes outside the catalogue (rectangular, larger formats) quoted on request.
Frequently asked questions
What we get asked the most.
Our table tops are 100% designed and made in France. The Balt® they are made of is produced from brewers' spent grain and recycled bio-based food packaging, in our Nantes workshop.
Standard care. A damp cloth is enough day to day. For stubborn marks, any neutral household cleaner will do. Balt® is built to withstand intensive professional use.
The top on its own is intended for customers who already have bases (existing tables, bespoke structures, built-in fit-out) or for distributors and fit-out specialists who assemble the finished table themselves.
The Cicero has a chamfered edge and comes in square or round, sizes 60 / 70 / 80. The Amarillo has a straight edge and comes only in square, sizes 60 / 70 / 80. Both are in Balt®, 16 mm thick.
Built for professional use, the table top fits out cafés, restaurants and hotels. Explore our furniture ranges by sector:
Yes, the Cicero top is pre-drilled for the standard Cicero base (M8 inserts). For the Amarillo or a different fixing, specify your mounting plate on the quote: we adapt the drilling to your system.
On the Cicero and Amarillo table tops: rectangular dimensions or formats larger than 80 cm, quoted on request.
Five natural shades (Brown, Blond, White, Amber, Stout) and three marbled versions (Marbled White/Amber, Marbled White/Blue, Marbled Brown/White). The 3D configurator lets you preview each shade on the top.
