'Clay Wood' table

Table with conical base featuring a circular cross-section and matching rigid polyurethane sub‑top, all entirely hand‑veneered in wood. The cladding is applied to the top, the sub‑top and the conical base. This process goes beyond a simple surface finish, involving a high‑precision manual veneering technique: thin sheets of wood are selected, calibrated, and applied one by one, following the curvature and geometric axis of the volume. The application is carried out through controlled gluing and calibrated pressing, ensuring perfect adhesion to the support and material continuity along the entire surface, including the portions with variable radius on the base. The orientation of the grain is carefully designed to follow the conical development of the structure, generating a visually coherent and technically uniform effect.

Catalog essay

In this version, the Clay table is entirely clad in wood, transforming every surface into a combined tactile and visual experience. The warm, vibrant material envelops both the top and the conical base in a seamless flow, giving the volume a presence that is measured yet simultaneously theatrical. The wood’s natural grain enhances its perceptual depth, turning the texture into the silent protagonist of the project: the table becomes not only a distinctive element within the space, but also a surface and a sensorial experience. Each Clay table is born from the meticulous, hand-crafted application of individual wooden strips, carefully laid onto the conical base, precisely following the project’s geometries and curves. This gesture—at the boundary between craftsmanship and design—creates a layered, almost rhythmic effect, where the wood speaks of time, skill, and attention to detail. No piece is identical to another: uniqueness becomes an intrinsic value, a discreet signature of human work.

In the charcoal ash version, Clay takes on a more intense character: the deep tone of the wood highlights the sculptural profile of the table, accentuating its presence. The grain, barely perceptible beneath the dark finish, adds dynamism to the surface and introduces an elegant material quality capable of combining rigour with natural warmth.

Expressing a warm and luminous material presence, the natural ash grain flows seamlessly across the surfaces, enhancing the table’s monolithic form and making it feel more organic and welcoming. The ash highlights the purity of Clay’s geometries, transforming it into a furnishing element capable of harmonizing with more domestic‑oriented interiors.

Dressed in smoked eucalyptus, it captivates the eye with a natural elegance: the depth of the dark tone, illuminated by vibrant, sinuous grain lines, gives the wood a unique, almost cinematic presence. Every detail becomes a trace of depth and time, where the wood seems to breathe, shift and come to life. Minimal in form yet monumental in presence, Clay becomes a point of attraction—an object that invites you to pause, observe, and experience the material as a sensory encounter, a meeting between geometric rigour and material poetry.
