Athos 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.
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.
In this piece, the extreme linearity and lightness of the three planes – two vertical and one horizontal – do not hide the exceptional texture and density of the material.
