Work Table in Fir Wood – Italy, Early 20th Century
A long work table, built in the early decades of the 20th century in fir wood. Not a noble piece of furniture, but a silent companion of a workshop or hardware store, perhaps even of an agricultural outbuilding: sturdy, practical, designed to withstand weight, knocks, and stains.
The top still bears the marks of a life of labor: scratches, darkened spots, remnants of crafts that followed one another over the years. Traces that have not been erased, but rather consolidated and carefully cleaned, restoring stability without betraying its authentic soul. The long slatted lower shelf completes the structure, offering functional storage and a simple, essential rhythm.
Today, its charm lies precisely in this honesty: it can become a striking support table along the wall of a large shop, a practical work surface in a spacious country kitchen, or a statement piece in an industrial-style loft.
A piece born for work, ready to be reborn as an element of style.
