Arca 1 Cabinet

Arca is a two-door cabinet made as a single block using wood with vertical grain. Its is manually finished on all sides using a gouge. The burnished steel latches and concealed hinges are specially designed and crafted. The entire manufacturing and finishing process is carried out manually in our workshop. The wood used for this piece is Juglans Regia – common walnut; not dried but “raw”. This wood belongs to the Latin tradition of furniture-making and features an extremely compact fibre which can, however, be worked without too much difficulty; it is therefore highly suitable for household items. Arca is a cabinet that contains and protects our most precious possessions, the cocoon in which we lovingly wrap our things, the signs of our affections.
