Small Low Rack by Maurizio Peregalli for Zeus

Frame/top: Phosphatized sheet steel / Embossed white
BIG IRONY products have intentionally not been painted because their irregular surface gives the material the fascinating appeal of wood, of old products existing since ever and improved with age. This is the characteristic which makes them so special.

Using them it is normal that you will get stains; with time, these will form a patina which renders the surface even more beautiful.
When delivered, the BIG IRONY surface has undergone a final treatment with beeswax. Please clean it first with a dry rag in order to remove traces of oxidation and wax. To clean BIG IRONY phosphatized surfaces, use a non-aggressive, soft detergent, as if it would be wood.
Twice a year we suggest to impregnate the surface with beeswax, removing it after one night as described before.

If you should not appreciate the patina on the phosphatized surface we suggest to choose the epoxy painted version, available with a little price increase. The black copper colour finish is the most similar to the “original” phosphatized sheet steel, because manually treated to recreate the irregularity of BIG IRONY surface. Other alternative colours could be for ex. embossed white, rust or gunmetal (in the zinc-plated version also for outdoor) and, of course, standard colours of the ZEUS collection.
