Nova Sideboard

<p>Nova is a cabinet made as a single block using wood with vertical grain. It comes in two-door cabinet or four-door sideboard versions. It is manually finished on all sides using a plane and gouge. Latches and hinges are concealed.<br /> 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. The living space is brought to life by people, but furniture also helps to make the space liveable and human: the terraced surface of this austere horizontal cabinet is almost an invitation for free, joyful use of the item for containing, displaying, sitting or climbing. Customised and made with Linden wood, European cherry, Slavonian oak, maple.</p>
