Murano glass is handcrafted by Vetreria Veneziana. The sheets are obtained by
mass casting: with this technique semi-fused glass pours by gravity
inside special moulds.. The casting itself on the walls of the mould
makes the surface and edges of the glass slightly irregular and wavy.
Secular wood is the only wood for which no trees are cut down. Its processing
requires decades of experience in cabinet making and restoration, as
well as a considerable amount of man-hours. This is achieved through the
careful selection of rare and precious reclaimed wood from the beams
and structural planks of old buildings, which are restored and shaped
with craftsmanship, leaving intact the natural veneer gained through
exposure to the elements for more than 100 years. The main woods used
are Elm (70%), Spruce (20%) and Oak (10%).
Any colour, aesthetic and
tactile differences between one plank and another are not to be
considered as a defect, but as an added value, precisely because they
are due to the inherent variability of a completely natural wood.
Solid wood is wood from FSC-certified supplies (forests managed correctly and responsibly according to strict environmental, social and economic standards). Only the highest quality 7-layer solid spruce or birch apanels with grade A veneer, with zero formaldehyde emissions, are used for the blockboard wood.
All woods are finished with the application of an all-natural, food-grade, water-based, colourless transparent finish. Glues are limited as much as possible in favour of mechanical joints; if used, vinyl glues are zero formaldehyde, ammonia and APEO emission.
