AquaEcoTable: The art of balancing nature and design

The AquaEcoTable , or simply Aqua Table , is a work of art that embodies the perfect fusion of natural materials and innovation. The warmth of wood and the elegance of Aqua Resin combine to create a unique piece with a strong aesthetic and functional character. A perfect balance between tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and technology.

If you're a fan of Japandi style, Scandinavian vibes, nature-inspired decor, and the philosophy of minimalism and sustainable beauty, this project will win you over. But let's take a closer look at the AquaEcoTable and how you can make it yourself.

The soul of the Japandi style

Japandi is the perfect fusion of Japanese design and Scandinavian style . It is based on:

• Functional minimalism : clean lines, essentiality and balance.
• Natural materials : wood, stone, paper and non-toxic resins.
• Neutral and earthy colors : white, beige, dove gray, sage green, light wood.
• Imperfection as value : the knots in the wood, the nuances of the resin, everything becomes part of the design.

AquaEcoTable embodies this philosophy. The wooden top retains its natural essence, while the use of Aqua Resin emphasizes the transparency and lightness of the design.

The sustainable heart: why choose Aqua Resin?

Aqua Resin is a non-toxic, water-based resin with a porcelain effect that can be colored and customized. Compared to traditional resins, it offers extraordinary advantages: 

• Safe and non-toxic : also suitable for home projects and for those with children.
• Eco-friendly : made with natural ingredients, without chemical solvents.
• Easy to work with : simply mix with water and clean up without solvents.
• Customizable : You can add pigments to create unique shades.

Furthermore, its smooth, velvety finish creates a fascinating contrast with the materiality of the wood, giving the table an elegant and modern look.

Color options: customize your Aqua Table

The beauty of Aqua Resin is that you can play with colors to create ever-changing effects:

• Milky white : for a pure and minimalist look.
• Sand beige : perfect for warm and welcoming environments.
• Concrete grey : for an urban and industrial contrast.
• Deep blue : recalls nature and the veins of water.
• Moss green : for a direct reference to the plant world.

You can also mix different colors to create unique shades or add terrazzo effects to your table.
