Protection begins beneath the finish

The Linear Steel Series' durability is rooted in the material foundation: galvanized steel. Before powder coating, each piece is galvanized — a surface treatment where the steel is coated with zinc to increase resistance to corrosion and rust.

Galvanization

Zinc provides what is known as “sacrificial protection”, meaning the zinc layer corrodes before the underlying steel, protecting the structure even if the surface is scratched or locally damaged. Corrosion occurs when metal reacts with air and moisture, a process that can lead to rust over time. When zinc reacts with oxygen, it forms a protective surface layer. This layer slows down corrosion and helps protect the steel underneath. For outdoor furniture, galvanization provides reliable protection against moisture, temperature changes and air pollutants. The zinc layer helps reduce corrosion, supporting long-term durability even with regular use and natural wear. Finished with a deep matte, UV-resistant powder coating, the Linear Steel Series is designed to withstand changing weather and long-term outdoor use.

Refined durability outdoors, produced in Europe

PRODUCT STORY

The Linear Steel Series brings a clear, contemporary expression to outdoor furniture, defined by straight lines and folded edges. Made in Europe, the series spans nine pieces across tables, seating and lounge furniture, unified by a refined visual language, everyday functionality and a durability rooted in its steel construction and weather-resistant finishes. With the Linear Steel Series, designer Thomas Bentzen set out to reinterpret traditional wooden outdoor furniture through a new material language. Drawing inspiration from classic oak tables, he translated their simplicity and attention to detail into steel.

Care & maintenance

For daily cleaning, it is recommended to use a soft cloth dampened with water. If necessary, a mild, non-concentrated detergent or dish soap may be used. After cleaning, the surface must always be wiped dry immediately with a soft cloth. Spills, grease, or residues should be removed immediately to reduce the risk of stains and marks. A trivet or coaster should always be used, and glasses, cups, or other items containing liquids should not be placed directly on the tabletop. The marble tabletop has been treated with a water- and oil-repellent stone sealer, which provides basic protection against stains. For added durability, a stronger stone sealer may be applied to the tabletop surface. In such cases, guidance should be sought from a local hardware store to ensure compatibility with natural stone.
