Arcangelo Dining Table

<p>Arcangelo is a table made as a single block using wood with vertical grain. It is manually finished on all sides using a gouge. The entire manufacturing and finishing process is carried out manually in our workshop.<br /> The wood used for this piece is Juglans Regia – common Italian 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. Over time the wood hardens and becomes extremely resistant, and oxidises slightly to take on a progressively warmer amber colour.<br /> The Arcangelo table is an utterly pure image; its power and elegance make it a central element in a future domestic habitat.</p>
