Benedettino

Benedettino is a desk with six drawers, two of which are under the writing surface. The two central drawers are made of windowed elements. The structure features two wooden trusses at the rear.
All the surfaces are sanded.
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.
