DEMENICO ROCKS
Designed by Urbi et Orbi studio in 2018
Along the rocky coasts of Mani, a mile out of Limeni and a short while before reaching the fairy cave, is the area that we locals call Demenico; I was born somewhere in this area, on one of those lonely rocks.
My name was passed down to me from my ancestors, the shaded rocks which remain unseen by daylight but for the midday sun. A name that must be Venetian, probably adjusted by the locals, established in a word-of-mouth fashion that spans centuries, all the way back to the time, when the Venetian navy would lay siege to this land, without ever managing to conquer it.
Who knows, maybe it was the name of a ship that sank there or the name of a washed-up Venetian navy man that gave this area its name.
My color… is black and white, washed clear from the foam of the waves, and absolute, as are the ones who never have been tainted by foreign invaders; black next to white, placed in the inimitable way, distinct of this land.
I am gone now, swept away by the sea; chiseled, my shape changed from a rough, wild and lonely little rock to a smooth, accessible and pleasant one, although I never forget my roots in Demenico.

If so, it should be removed immediately with water. Chlorine-based cleaning agents or alkalis are not recommended. We suggest the usage of lukewarm water with a mild detergent neutral when required and soft vettex cloths. For the better maintenance we recommend to apply a wax time to time.
PROPERTIES
Our company specializes in the production of concrete design elements. The raw material that we use is a unique reinforced mixture of cement, additives enhancers, glass ber and special aggregates. UHPC.(ultra high performance concrete) The durability of concrete is known from the building construction.
However the untreated concrete is not ideal to construct functional object. Concrete is porous, so it absorbs and smudges easily. So, in order to be waterproof and protected from unwanted stains, is necessary the treatment and the sealing of the surface. Marine is protected with penetrate liquids, breathable, which ensures the best natural result
