Microcement & Finish
Microcement
Handcrafted. Timeless. Designed for Modern Living.
At Sun Republic, exceptional furniture begins with exceptional materials. Our handcrafted microcement dining tables combine contemporary design, artisan craftsmanship, and everyday practicality to create timeless statement pieces made to be lived with.
Loved for its seamless matte finish, soft organic texture, and refined architectural aesthetic, microcement complements interiors ranging from coastal and contemporary to Scandinavian, Mediterranean, Hamptons, and Wabi-Sabi.
Every table is individually handcrafted, ensuring no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
What is Microcement?
Microcement is a premium cement-based decorative finish that is carefully hand-applied in multiple fine layers to create a seamless surface with natural depth and movement.
Inspired by the timeless appeal of concrete, it delivers a refined architectural look while being significantly lighter and more practical for everyday furniture.
Each table is constructed using a durable composite core, then individually finished in hand-applied microcement to create a strong, stable, and beautifully balanced dining table designed for modern living.
Its soft matte surface and organic variation give it a calm, understated elegance that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Crafted by Hand
Every Sun Republic microcement dining table is individually hand-finished by skilled artisans.
This traditional process creates subtle tonal variation, gentle surface movement, and organic texture that ensures no two pieces are ever the same.
Rather than a uniform factory finish, handcrafted microcement celebrates authenticity, making each table a one-of-a-kind piece with its own natural character.
Performance & Durability
Every table is sealed with a polyurethane (PU) coating, creating a durable, water-resistant, and non-porous surface designed for everyday use.
This protective finish helps resist moisture, stains, and general wear while preserving the soft matte appearance and natural texture of the microcement finish.
Like all premium furniture, including timber, marble, stone, and porcelain, microcement benefits from simple everyday care to maintain its beauty over time.
Our Signature Colour Finishes
Our microcement finishes have been carefully selected to complement contemporary Australian interiors and highlight the natural beauty of handcrafted microcement.
Seashell offers a warmer, alabaster off-white, while Chalk provides a brighter, milky, cleaner architectural white.
Seashell
Available on our Siena and Elio Collections.
Seashell is our signature warm off-white microcement finish.
Inspired by natural coastal shells, limestone, and aged ivory, it sits between creamy winter white and ivory with gentle warm undertones.
The result is a calm, organic finish that brings warmth and softness to a space without the starkness of pure white.
Seashell pairs beautifully with natural timber, travertine, linen, oak, stone, brushed brass, and black accents, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary and classic interiors.
Because each table is individually handcrafted, subtle tonal variation is a natural feature of the finish. Lighting, photography, and screen settings may also influence how the colour appears online.
Chalk
Available on our Jansen Collection.
Chalk is a brighter, more architectural interpretation of white while retaining the organic character of microcement.
With soft cool undertones and a clean matte finish, Chalk creates a fresh, modern aesthetic suited to minimalist, Scandinavian, Hamptons, and contemporary interiors.
It retains the same handcrafted movement and natural variation that define all Sun Republic microcement finishes.
Each Chalk table is individually hand-finished, ensuring every piece is uniquely its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is microcement the same as concrete?
No. Microcement is a decorative cement-based finish applied over a durable composite core. It delivers the look of concrete while being significantly lighter in weight being more practical for furniture.
Will my table look exactly like the online photos?
No two tables are ever identical. Each piece is individually handcrafted, resulting in subtle variations in tone, texture, and movement. These natural differences are part of its character.
Lighting, photography, and screen settings may also affect how colours appear online. Colour samples are available if you would like to view finishes in person.
Is microcement durable?
Yes. Each table is sealed with a premium PU coating that creates a water-resistant, durable, and easy-to-clean surface suitable for everyday use.
Can microcement scratch?
Like all premium materials, microcement is designed for everyday living but is not completely scratch-proof. We recommend using placemats, coasters, and trivets to help maintain its finish.
Is microcement porous?
No. Once sealed, the surface is non-porous and resistant to moisture and staining.
Care & Maintenance
Our microcement dining tables are designed for everyday living while maintaining their timeless beauty.
Simply clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soapy water. Wipe spills promptly and avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or direct heat on the surface.
For long-term care, we recommend using placemats, coasters, and trivets during daily use.
With simple care, your handcrafted microcement dining table will maintain its beauty for years to come.
