The solid wood, handcrafted, is the protagonist of author projects, from the collections of prestigious Italian companies

Italian design has made a name for itself on the international scene also thanks to its ability to combine the seriality of industrial production with the skills and techniques of fine craftsmanship in solid wood. A tradition stratified over the centuries and handed down from master to practitioner, which today represents a unique and inimitable heritage of savoir-faire for companies and designers.

One of the flagships of Italian production is the expertise in woodworking. A warm and natural material that offers designers many possibilities for creative interpretation in a contemporary key. As demonstrated by some of the designer proposals from the collections of prestigious Italian brands.
