Vela Dining Table

<p>Vela is a table made as a single block using wood with vertical grain. It is manually finished on all sides using a gouge. The top is made of 2 cm thick extra-clear glass.<br /> 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.<br /> Over time the wood hardens and becomes extremely resistant, and oxidises slightly to take on a progressively warmer amber colour.</p>
