Description

Briony is a free-standing bookcase for the centre of the room, available in two widths, 126 and 189 cm, respectively with 8 or 12 open through compartments, with 2 or 3 vertical uprights. It is characterised by a structure that alternates, in an interplay of staggered geometries, open compartments in wood and metal.
Being free-standing and double-sided, Briony is ideal for separating two adjoining rooms: its formal lightness translates into a dividing bookcase with solids and voids, offering storage space but remaining visually slender.

Technical study

Secular wood is the only wood for which no trees are cut down. Its processing requires decades of experience in cabinetmaking 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 patina gained through exposure to the elements for more than 100 years. The main essences used are Elm (70%), Spruce (20%) and Oak (10%): the type of essence depends on the piece of wood recovered. The surface is treated with neutral water-based varnishes. The special feature of these woods is that they are left to dry for many hours until they completely lose their intrinsic moisture content, which significantly reduces their specific weight.
Any chromatic, aesthetic and tactile differences between one board and another are to be considered not a defect, but an added value, precisely because they are due to the inherent variability of a completely natural wood.

This article is the result of the continuous research of this Italian company, active in the recovery of 100% natural materials to be used in the furniture sector. Tables, bookcases, sideboards and cupboards are built with antique wood that preserves the original characteristics while enhancing the charm given to it by the passage of time. Widely used is also marble and hammered glass that harmoniously binds with wood and enhances its characteristics. Attention to the preservation of the environment also emerges from the soft colours that recall the tones of nature, perfect for both modern homes and in an environment with a classic and formal taste.
"Natural design" is the leitmotif of the entire collection, which, together with the extensive use of glass, lightly worked wood and marble, proposes high-level complements that become the protagonists of an exclusive environment, whether it is a dining area or a living room.
Each product is conceived, designed and built in Italy to be proposed to an international market attentive to the high quality of Made in Italy furniture. The experience and excellence of the work carried out by the brand is widely perceivable the moment one comes into contact with any item proposed in the catalogue.
