The story behind

The Chimenti Round Coffee Table is a variation of the first Chimenti table, and it’s made of reclaimed wood planks obtained from the Venetian Bricola poles preserving their natural live edges corroded by decades of salt water and sculpted by the lagoon molluscs. In Venetian seafaring language, the Chimenti are the gaps between the boards forming a ship’s planking, where the master caulkers stuff the gaps with oakum soaked in tar and colofonia, a transparent vegetable resin. 

Not unlike this ancient work, the manufacturer of this table uses an innovative resination process capable of filling only the empty spaces with a transparent resin capturing the underwater air bubbles that bring the wood back to the original look and conditions.
