Moia table Alicudi

The Alicudi extendable dining table by Moia expresses the majesty and nobility of elite outdoor furniture, becoming the ideal focal point for large open spaces such as luxurious gardens, spacious patios, and panoramic terraces. Characterized by a refined and ergonomic oval shape, this table is entirely crafted from fine solid Teak wood, a tropical wood legendary for its innate qualities of structural strength, durability, and extraordinary biological tolerance to adverse weather conditions. Thanks to a fluid, integrated, retractable extension system, Alicudi extends with a simple gesture up to 240 cm, offering the ideal solution for hosting numerous friends and family during large, convivial outdoor lunches and dinners.

Material Value, Nuances, and Organic Evolution

The Alicudi table celebrates the physical properties and intrinsic beauty of living wood, offering a warm aesthetic capable of interacting with the surrounding nature:

• Natural Teak Finish: Characterized by warm golden, blonde, and honeyed hues, the wood features unique grain patterns that make each piece an exclusive natural work of art. When exposed to the sun's rays and the open air, Teak undergoes a fascinating chromatic evolution, developing a distinctive and sophisticated silver-gray protective patina over time.

Material Details and Maintenance Guidelines

1. High-Quality Solid Teak Frame and Top

Teak is a noble tropical wood, naturally rich in water-repellent oleoresins, essential oils, and silica. This spontaneous molecular chemical composition shields the wood from the effects of rain, nighttime humidity, temperature changes, and UV exposure, preventing rot, structural warping, cracking, and attack by wood-boring insects.
Use and Maintenance: Alicudi is extremely simple to maintain. To remove dust, pollen, or food residue, simply wash the surface with a soft-bristled brush and a solution of fresh water and neutral soap. If you want to preserve the original golden-blond color of teak, we recommend applying a specific protective oil annually. If you prefer the wood's vintage, aged appearance, you can skip the treatment and allow the natural silver patina to form. During the winter months, we recommend protecting the table with a breathable outdoor cover or storing it under a porch.

Benefits and Design

• Fluid Retractable Extension Mechanism: The extension system is engineered to be hidden beneath the main tabletop when the table is closed. In case of unexpected guests, the two oval half-tops slide smoothly on protected metal runners, allowing the central extension to be extended in seconds and without any physical effort.
• Oval Ergonomics and Increased 120 cm Space: The oval shape eliminates sharp geometric edges, making it easier to walk around the table and optimize the seating arrangement. The 120 cm depth (more than standard 90 or 100 cm tables) ensures exceptional comfort at the table, leaving ample central space for tureens, trays, carafes, and floral decorations without obstructing diners' table settings.
• Dynamic Stability and Greenwood Engineering: The central base and leg frame are designed to support the weight of the solid wood tabletop in both the compact and 240 cm configurations. The structural joints absorb the dynamic stresses of the load, eliminating oscillations and ensuring impeccable stability.
• Insulating Floor-Saving Feet: Special insulating inserts and protective feet are installed at the base of the teak legs. This measure prevents direct contact between the wood fibers and stagnant moisture in the floor after a rainstorm or while cleaning the terrace, also protecting delicate tiles and decking from scratches or scuffs.

FAQ

How many guests can the Alicudi table comfortably seat when fully extended to 240 cm?
In its compact 180 cm configuration, the table comfortably seats 6 to 8 people. Once extended to its maximum width of 240 cm, thanks in part to its oval shape that allows for easy use of the curved corners, Alicudi comfortably seats 10 to 12 guests, ensuring everyone has the ideal postural and ergonomic space.

Can the Alicudi table be exposed to heavy rain without suffering structural damage?
Absolutely. The teak wood selected by Moia is naturally waterproof and resists water without undergoing any alterations. Raindrops do not penetrate the fibers and do not cause the top to swell or warp. Liquids simply slide off, and once the rain is over, the table dries quickly in the open air. To use it immediately, simply wipe a dry cloth along the slats.

How can I remove grease stains or food residue from a natural wood tabletop?
Since it's a natural wood dining table, if you accidentally spill oily substances, wine, or coffee, we recommend dabbing and cleaning the surface promptly with water and neutral soap before the stain is absorbed. If stubborn stains remain over time, the great advantage of solid teak wood is its infinite regeneration potential: simply sand the affected area with very fine-grained sandpaper to remove the stain and reveal the perfectly clean wood.
