The eye alights on it, follows its lines and you feel hypnotised: you are standing before a door in wood, but you could be a child counting the circles in the trunk of a tree, or an art connoisseur gazing at an impressionist painting. This is its great advantage: wood can excite and transmit emotions, evoking strength, balance and attachment to roots. But not only that: furnishing with wood means using an element that is both simple and dynamic. The streaks, introduced by nature or design, bring surfaces alive and create engaging interplay between original forms. Typical or exotic, plain or sophisticated, wood always lends itself to new interpretations: the shape emphasis the irregularities of the grain and the result produces a strong aesthetic impact. The warmth of an item of wooden furniture goes well with colder materials, like marble or stone. That’s the heart, the rest are details.
